This course is specifically designed to promote fire safety within the workplace as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, makes it a legal requirement that every member of staff receives some kind of fire awareness training.
The course can be tailored to the working environment of your company in order to provide realistic and informative training.
The aim of the course is to provide delegates with an understanding of fire safety and the practical skills needed in the event of a fire. Delegates learn about the causes of fire in the workplace, along with the risks that fire poses to health and safety, and are introduced to safe working practices.
Our course includes live fire extinguisher training. Delegates are taught the correct fire extinguisher handling and operating practices and can experience the use of a fire extinguisher on real fire.
We also inform delegates about the behaviour of fire and human responses in emergency situations, to ensure sufficient knowledge to act confidently and effectively in a fire emergency situation.
