Fire Safety Training

Fire Safety training for staff is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. UK Fire Training offer Fire Safety training on a national basis. Our Fire Safety training courses are provided on an in-company basis and can be delivered at a time and date to suit your needs.

Staff should receive Fire Safety training relevant to their role. Hands-on Fire extinguisher training is vital if staff are expected to use fire extinguishers in the event of a small fire at work. The level of Fire Safety training that new staff have had in the past should be checked at induction stage. If necessary, new staff should then be given Fire Safety training.

Fire Marshals should be given additional fire safety training in line with their specific responsibilities. These will include ensuring a safe evacuation of the premises and ongoing fire prevention activities.
