Customer Feedback
Why is Fire Blanket Inspection Training Important?
Fire blankets put out small fires by cutting off the oxygen supply to the fire. However, the effectiveness can be much lower if the fire blanket is:
- Damaged or degraded such that it doesn’t sufficiently smother the fire
- Wrong material for the most likely type of fire
- Located too far from where fire is likely
- Difficult to find or reach
- Difficult to deploy
This course teaches users to ensure fire blankets are maintained, housed, and placed appropriately and can be used effectively in case of a fire.

Under Article 13 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that the premises are equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment where necessary.

Failure to comply can increase the risk of fire and lead to legal consequences, including fines, penalties and legal action.
