Fire Safety Training Information
You will, no doubt, be aware of the potentially devastating effects of fires in the workplace in terms of lives lost, injuries, damage to property and the environment, and to the business continuity.
You may also be aware that it is believed that most fires are preventable. The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training. This course is designed for all employers who require their staff to have a better understanding of fire safety within the workplace. It deals with how fires can occur and what to do in the event of a fire.
The course will help employees who want to develop their fire safety awareness in order to assist their employer by undertaking more specific fire safety roles in the workplace to manage fire risk (e.g. as fire wardens/marshals/stewards etc). Successful candidates will be awarded a Certificate of Competence in Fire Safety.
