About This Fire Awareness Training

Our fire awareness training courses help employees in the workplace and industry settings understand their role in fire prevention. Participants also learn proper evacuation procedures and how to handle firefighting equipment—all essential knowledge that protects lives in the event of a fire.

These fire awareness courses are suitable for basic fire safety induction training and for regular refresher training, both of which are legal requirements.

Why Is This Training Important?

During the 2022/23 period, there were 13,550 building fires in England, including workplace fires. This equates to around 260 fires each week. Many businesses never recover from the damage of a workplace fire.

Fire awareness teaches employees to control fire hazards and prevent these incidents. Trained individuals can also handle firefighting equipment confidently and ensure rapid and safe evacuations. These decisive actions help stop fires from spreading and minimise risks for people and property.

Our fire awareness online training courses equip staff with the knowledge and skills to prevent fires, respond effectively in emergencies and use firefighting equipment correctly. This training ensures workplaces are prepared for fire-related incidents and comply with fire safety regulations.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (the Fire Safety Order), employers are responsible for protecting their employees and the public from fire risks. Part of this requires employers in the UK to provide adequate fire awareness training for employees.

Adequate training means employers must:

  • Include general fire safety training as part of the induction process for all new employees.
  • Provide regular fire safety refresher training for all staff.
  • Provide additional training if workplace fire risks change.
  • Give workers with additional responsibilities, such as fire wardens, the necessary training to fulfil their role.

Records of every employee’s training history must be maintained to prove compliance.

In addition to providing training, employers must also conduct fire risk assessments to ensure premises meet the required safety standards.

Workplace fire safety awareness training helps employees remain vigilant and committed to fire safety. Robust workplace fire safety awareness also means all workers can contribute to the process of completing a fire risk assessment, making the practice more straightforward and meaningful.
