It is a legal requirement to ensure you have an adequate number of staff trained to handle the safe and successful evacuation in the case of a fire emergency.

This course is designed for anyone wishing to obtain the skills, knowledge and confidence to monitor and control fire safety  in any workplace environment.

The Fire Marshal training course covers the following subjects:

• Fire marshal responsibilities and legal duties
• Record keeping

There should be a set number of Fire Marshal’s at your workplace and there are a number of factors that would impact this:

• The number of staff you have at your workplace
• The risks present at your workplace
• The layout of your premise
• The number of visitors to your premise

Fire safety training is also necessary when new employees are moved into a building or changes have been made to the emergency plan. Furthermore, fire safety training is also advised when working practices and processes or people’s responsibilities have changed or any risks in a building have changed. As a result, fire warden training may be required if a person(s) with mobility issues has been employed  or a new member of staff has undertaken the role of a duty manager or responsible person.

The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order of 2005 requires employers to ensure that employees are provided with adequate emergency evacuation procedures and suitable fire safety knowledge including Fire awareness and Fire Marshal training. To conclude, fire safety training within any working environment is a legal requirement under this order.

Assessment will be ongoing throughout the course and certificates will be issued within 5 working days.

Fire safety management in the workplace is a complex process.  It consists of

• Fire Risk Assessment
• Emergency Evacuation Plan
