Fire safety in the workplace

Our new half-day Fire marshal training course covers the role of the designated fire marshal (fire warden). You will learn about preventing fires and learn about the different types of fire extinguisher and how to use them correctly.

The responsible person in a business (the employer, owner, landlord or occupier) is required to:

carry out fire risk assessments of the sites and review them regularly
tell staff about the risks that have been identified
implement, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures
plan for an emergency
provide staff information, fire safety instruction and training.

Are your staff familiar with the types of extinguishers you have on site?
In an emergency would they know what type of extinguisher to use?

Employers must ensure all staff are provided with regular adequate fire training to comply with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

This course is suitable for:

those who are responsible for managing fire safety
designated fire marshals / fire wardens
anyone who needs to know how to use a fire extinguisher
