Fire Safety Training Courses

The actions of staff if there is a fire are likely to be crucial to their safety and that of others in your premises. To comply with the Fire Safety Order all staff should receive basic fire safety induction training and attend refresher training sessions at pre-determined intervals.

Fire safety training courses can be tailored to meet the requirements of your business in terms of timing, numbers and location.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Training provided by us will take account of the findings of your fire risk assessment, explain your emergency procedures,  be easily understood by all those attending and include the following areas:-

• what to do on discovering a fire;
• how to raise the alarm and what happens then;
• what to do on hearing the alarm;
• the procedures for alerting members of the public and visitors including, where appropriate, directing them to exits;
• the arrangements for calling the Fire & Rescue Service;
• the evacuation procedures for everyone (including the public and contractors) in your premises to reach an assembly point at a place of total safety;
• the location and when appropriate, the use of fire fighting equipment;
• the location of escape routes, especially those not in regular use;
• how to open all emergency exit doors;
• the importance of keeping fire doors closed to prevent the spread of fire, heat and smoke;
