Why is This Course Important?

Fires can devastate businesses. The financial cost of workplace fire incidents is approximately £657,074 per incident. In some cases, organisations never recover from the damage a fire can cause.

Because of the inherent danger, fire wardens/marshals must ensure control measures are in place and effective. It is their responsibility to oversee everyday fire safety and work to reduce risks to both property and people should a fire occur.

This online Fire Warden Training course is designed to ensure fire wardens/marshals understand their duties. It develops the necessary knowledge to support compliance with regulations and reduce fire risks within an organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A fire warden is responsible for ensuring fire safety within a building. They assist in fire risk assessments, monitor fire safety equipment, organise fire drills, help evacuate people during emergencies and ensure fire safety protocols are followed.

There’s no distinction between fire wardens and marshals. Both roles share similar responsibilities, and the titles are effectively interchangeable.

The number of fire wardens needed in your workplace depends on the size of your business and the risk level:

  • Low-risk workplaces should have 1 fire warden for every 50 employees
  • Medium-risk workplaces should have 1 fire warden for every 20 employees
  • High-risk workplaces should have 1 fire warden for every 15 employees

This course covers the following topics:

  • Key roles and responsibilities of fire wardens
  • Fire prevention principles
  • Ignition sources and how to manage them
  • Sources of fuel and fire classifications
  • Unsafe work practices and fire-safe behaviours
  • Inspecting and using fire safety equipment
  • Identifying and mitigating deliberate fire-setting risks
  • Fire evacuation procedures and drills
  • Assisting people with disabilities during evacuations
  • Extinguishing small fires before they escalate

This course takes around 30 minutes to complete. For a more in-depth understanding of this role, we recommend you explore our other fire-related course content, including Fire Risk Assessment training.

Once you have completed the fire warden/marshal course, you’ll receive an accredited training certificate that needs to be renewed with refresher training every three years.

Employers must appoint a suitable number of responsible persons to act as fire wardens for their workplace. Anyone tasked with fire warden duties is required to complete sufficient training.

Fire warden course is priced at £25.00 +VAT for an individual user. Discounts are available for bulk purchases.
