Why Is Fire Risk Assessment Training Important?
There were 15,368 reported fires in non-domestic premises within England alone, over the five-year period ending in 2019/20. These fires damaged property, disrupted operations, injured workers and caused fatalities.
As part of the measures to reduce fire risk, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes fire risk assessments a requirement for all workplaces. These assessments must be conducted regularly and performed by individuals with sufficient knowledge, skills and training.
Fire Risk Assessment Training helps prepare your staff to take on fire risk assessment duties and support fire safety in your workplace.The course explains how to identify potential fire hazards, evaluate fire safety measures and support improvements in fire safety protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
A fire risk assessment is a careful analysis of anything in the workplace that can create a fire hazard. It systematically evaluates a building or premises to identify potential fire hazards, assess their risk level and determine appropriate measures to minimise or eliminate those risks.
Every employer is required to conduct a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
A fire risk assessment helps keep people and property safe from the potential devastation of a fire. It identifies potential fire hazards, such as faulty electrical wiring, flammable materials or inadequate firefighting equipment, and evaluates the risk level each hazard represents.
By evaluating these risks, appropriate fire safety measures can be implemented to minimise the likelihood of a fire occurring and to reduce its impact should one happen.
Our fire risk assessment training course covers the essentials of fire risk assessments and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
At the end of the FRA course, you complete a short assessment to prove your understanding of the training modules.
