As part of its efforts to strengthen its relationship with agencies across the National Statistical System, the Bureau of Statistics recently conducted training with Guyana Fire Service personnel.
A release on Thursday from the Bureau informed that a total of 58 firefighters and subordinate officers from the GFS’ 22 Fire Stations were trained in two batches by technical personnel over a two-week period at its headquarters in Georgetown.
Among the areas covered were the importance of Statistics for decision-making, importance of good stewardship of data, Introduction to Data Collection and Management, data analysis, and improving workflows and reporting outcomes. This means that those trained are now better equipped to improve the Fire Service’s data collection, analysis and management.
