Fire and Safety Course(PGDEPE)

One Year Post Graduate Diploma Course in Fire Protection Engineering (PGDFPE)



Introduction


Technical changes within industry and the increase in the number, variety, type of chemicals, flammable and combustible products and population densities have accentuated the complex fire problems. Such demands have created a need of constant research and development to come out with customized scientific solutions. In fact a specialised training based on latest theories in fire protection engineering including various aspects pertaining to design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire protection systems is the need of the hour. This in totality requires a special branch of engineering in its own right.


Safety is connected with the lives and property of people and the general situation of reform, development and stability. Safety training in its proper application can dramatically reduce maintenance costs, increase safety performance, prevent loss of time and accidents and enhance productivity. Many safety professionals work in manufacturing and production operation to ensure that working conditions & methods are safe for employees.


Potential Careers


Career opportunities in this field are on the rise. Jobs are open in the government sector, private, industrial & the service sector. In fact consultancy opportunities are also open to aspiring candidates. In the private sector, insurance, manufacturing firms, chemical & petrochemical firms, public utilities and educational complexes, airports, five star hotels etc, employ candidates from this field.
