Fire Safety Training

A poorly trained workforce that is ill prepared will definitely be your weakest link in an emergency.

Unless your staff know exactly what to do and when – and sometimes as importantly, what not to do - establishing a fire safety strategy, installing a fire alarm system and maintaining extinguishers may be a waste of your time and money.

It cannot be over emphasised that your staff can be your strongest asset in your approach to fire safety. A well informed, well motivated workforce may be the difference between success and failure in the event of a fire and/or emergency evacuation.

Legal Obligations

Current fire safety legislation (The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states (in Article 21):
“The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training”
and that any training provided must:
“Include suitable and sufficient instruction and training on the appropriate precautions and actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises;
Note: The ‘Responsible Person is usually the employer or, if there are no employees, the person in control of the premises.

Our Training Sessions

We provide a range of training sessions from one hour ‘refresher’ courses to intensive fire warden training sessions.

All our training is bespoke – designed around your actual business needs. Before a training session begins, we will contact you and discuss your requirements. Where necessary, we may request a loan of a copy of your ‘Emergency Plan’ and even your ‘Fire Risk Assessment’ in order that our training is tailor-made for your staff and as site specific as possible.

Trainers are experienced former Fire Officers with operational, fire investigation and fire safety experience which allows them to go ‘off script’ when necessary, for instance to deal with unexpected questions or to relate the training to actual incident scenarios.

All sessions are bespoke so the content may vary.

“The content of the videos had a huge impact on my appreciation of how destructive fire can be.”

“I now have an understanding of how to carry out fire warden duties with more efficiency.”
