About Fire Safety Training

Every workplace is vulnerable to fire, so all employers must comply with fire safety regulations and provide staff with relevant training.

Our fire safety online courses train employees to reduce fire risks and improve workplace safety. They also prepare employees to act accordingly should a fire break out, including how to extinguish small fires successfully and evacuate safely.

More extensive courses are available for duty holders, including courses on fire risk assessment, fire inspection and fire warden training to prepare appointed persons for additional fire safety responsibilities.

We also offer advanced fire protection courses, including fire stopping, fire door installation and fire door inspection.

Why This Training is Important

The Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) attended 39,045 building fires in England alone in 2023. Most fires are preventable if occupants are aware of and follow fire safety best practices.

Our fire safety training for employees gives them the knowledge and skills to reduce fire risks in the workplace and respond effectively in an emergency, protecting lives and property.

Trainees learn to spot potential fire hazards and implement prevention strategies, as well as safe evacuation and firefighting techniques. These fire safety courses are designed to support legal compliance at work and help organisations avoid penalties.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

Employers must give employees adequate fire safety education and training. They must also establish effective fire prevention measures and work to eliminate or control fire risks.

These responsibilities are enforced by the following regulations and legislation:

  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: This is the key piece of legislation governing fire safety in England and Wales. Under the Fire Safety Order, all employees must receive sufficient fire safety instruction and training, which must be repeated periodically to ensure employees retain the knowledge gained during initial training.Employers must also conduct and review a comprehensive fire risk assessment of their premises. The risk assessment should then be used to implement fire safety measures and plan for a fire emergency. Any findings from the risk assessment must also be shared with employees.
  • The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: These regulations introduced new duties under the Fire Safety Order for responsible persons of high-rise residential buildings, including the need to provide information about their buildings to the local fire and rescue service.
  • The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974: This legislation requires all employers to ensure a safe working environment.

Failing to comply with these regulations can result in legal repercussions such as fines or prosecution.
