Fire Training  

All persons at work, especially newly appointed staff, need to have a basic understanding of fire precautions and the actions to be taken in the event of a fire. 

The actions of staff if there is a fire are likely to be crucial to their safety and that of other people in the premises. All staff should receive basic fire safety induction training and attend refresher sessions at pre-determined intervals. 

We provide a range of fire safety training solutions for organisations both large and small and the objective of each course is to give delegates all round knowledge of what to do in the event of a fire.  

The subjects covered include: 

• What action to take on discovering a fire 
• How to raise the alarm 
• What to do when hearing a fire alarm 
• Who’s responsible for calling the emergency services 
• The location of extinguishers and escape routes 

Fire warden / Fire marshal training

Staff expec ted to undertake the role of fire warden would require more comprehensive training. 

This course provides a clear understanding of the responsibilities, duties and role of a Fire Evacuation Warden, enabling delegates to supervise a swift and safe evacuation of a building. 

Management procedures for the evacuation of disabled people from a building should be clear and contained in staff guidelines. They should be regularly rehearsed as a part of every evacuation or fire drill and include dealing with disabled persons.  

The type of training should be based on the particular features of your premises and should: 

• take account of the findings of the fire risk assessment; 

• explain your emergency procedures; 

• take account of the work activity and explain the duties and responsibilities of staff; 

• take place during normal working hours and be repeated periodically where appropriate; 

• be easily understandable by your staff and other people who may be present; and 

• be tested by fire drills. 

Training should be repeated as often as necessary and should take place during working hours.  

Whatever training you decide is necessary to support your fire safety strategy and emergency plan, it should be verifiable. 

Enforcing authorities may want to examine records as evidence that adequate training has 

been given.
