The Samoa Fire and Emergency Services Authority recently spearheaded a targeted fire safety training for the management and team at Women in Business Development, based in Nuu. This session is part of a larger effort to fortify fire emergency preparedness and adherence to safety regulations across local businesses and organisations.
This initiative reflects a focused approach to embed robust safety practices in the workplace, ensuring that teams are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond effectively in fire emergencies. The training aims to mitigate risks and protect both lives and property by fostering a well-prepared workforce.

Commendably, Women in Business Development took significant steps to participate in the Fire Warden Training, highlighting their commitment to creating a secure working environment. This proactive engagement not only benefits their organisation but also serves as a model for other local enterprises, promoting widespread adoption of safety protocols.
A standout feature of the training was the inclusion of staff members with hearing impairments, underscoring the program’s commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. This move exemplifies the broader objective to ensure that emergency preparedness is comprehensive, reaching all community members, including those with disabilities.
The Samoa Fire and Emergency Services Authority also seized the moment to remind the public about the critical importance of readiness for any emergencies. They reinforced the message that immediate assistance is just a call away at 911 in case of fire or other emergencies.
