Nationwide lockdowns associated with COVID-19 have driven millions to desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones to pass the time. Chief among their digital pursuits is online training. At Allied Universal, we can confirm the upward trend relative to our own online fire life safety training. An influx of subscribers has started taking advantage of our training modules, which are available 24/7.
About Fire Life Safety Training
Our Fire and Life Safety Training Division provides comprehensive fire and life safety and emergency preparation services for every type of facility. We work with clients to create effective emergency plans, especially for fire, natural disasters or other conditions that threaten people’s lives. In addition, we offer the training required to keep commercial buildings and facilities in compliance with safety codes. While especially important for high-rise building owners and managers, fire and life safety planning are a critical loss prevention strategy for every operation.
As a leader in training commercial building tenants and residential high-rise occupants for fire safety and emergency certification, our proprietary training system ensures that buildings and their occupants meet mandated national, state and local standards. Additionally, we maintain close relationships with federal and local law enforcement, fire officials, and other emergency personnel, and many of our instructors and managers are former law enforcement members.
Subscriber Benefits
Allied Universal’s digital training sessions include animated video presentations with preparation and survival tips for fires, earthquakes; medical emergencies; power failures; bomb threats; and more. Users also have access to additional resources such as maps, manuals and plans; forms, lists and guidelines; active shooter information; home and family preparedness; area-specific emergencies, active shooter videos, Red Cross CPR/First Aid and Automated External Defibrillator (AED)/Special Assistance.
