About this Course

No matter which industry you are a part of, basic fire awareness training is a legal requirement for all staff members. Employers are legally required to provide fire safety training in order to meet the fire safety regulations of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

This course covers the legislative requirements of the Fire Safety Order 2005. It provides employers and employees the basic knowledge about the risks of fire in the workplace and how to assess and minimise those risks using control measures.

Around 70% of businesses shut down within 3 years of a major fire. These fires can be prevented if they are dealt with promptly as soon as they start. This course teaches you how fire begins and spreads, how to use different types of fire extinguishers, how to implement an effective emergency procedure and how to act in the event of a fire.

The course is aimed at anyone involved in the management of fire safety in any workplace. This includes managers, supervisors, team leaders, and staff working in any area where there is a potential risk of fire
