About this Fire Safety Awareness training course

Minimise the risk to life and comply with fire safety requirements and legislation with our online Fire Safety Awareness training course. Fire is one of the biggest risks to the safety of that your employees face on a daily basis in the workplace. With 135 people killed in workplace fires in the UK in 2023, it is vital that your staff know the causes of fire and the correct actions to take in a fire. In fact, every staff member is legally required to undergo basic fire safety training.

This fire safety course will teach your staff the fire safety signs, the risks of fire safety in the workplace, how to avoid a fire by spotting fire hazards, the different fire extinguisher types and their legal responsibilities in the prevention and response to fires in the workplace. Upon successful completion of this training course, learners will receive a digital Fire Safety Awareness certificate, which can be used to show their compliance.

If you are responsible for performing risk assessments and developing evacuation procedures for your place of work, we would recommend our more specialised Fire Marshal Training Course due to the higher level of training required.

Enrol on to our Fire Safety Awareness training course to go into more depth and help increase your understanding and develop your knowledge/skills in fire safety.

What are the benefits of fire safety awareness training?

Fire Safety Awareness training equips staff with thorough knowledge on spotting potential fire hazards, comprehending fire dynamics, and taking measures to mitigate them.

Additionally, employees will be capable of executing efficient evacuation plans to evacuate and contact emergency services promptly, thereby protecting both the workforce and the business.

 

Why is fire safety important in the workplace? Fire safety is of the highest importance in any building and can affect any business at any time.

As an employer, you are responsible for fire safety in the workplace and meeting all required health and safety standards to ensure the safety and protection of your staff.

If a fire does occur and you aren't prepared or have adequate training, it can cause serious problems for your business and endanger everyone.
What is the purpose of fire drills? The purpose of a fire drill is to ensure that everyone knows what to do in an event of a fire. If they didn't, serious injuries could occur.

By completing fire safety training courses and doing fire drill practices with those who may be in danger means a fire evacuation can be carried out in a calm and orderly manner and those with fire responsibilities can complete their tasks confidently. Whether it's for fire safety in a care home, school, pub, office or any workplace, it's important to practice fire evacuation procedures.
Is fire safety training a legal requirement?

Yes, fire safety training is a legal requirement. As stated in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all employees need to undergo basic fire safety training - ideally at induction and, refresher training should be provided annually. This should be carried out by a competent person with suitable and sufficient skills and knowledge of fire safety.

Our online fire safety course will teach your staff the necessary skills and knowledge in fire safety and fire evacuation procedures. Suitable for care homes, offices, restaurants, schools or any type of workplace.

Can I do a fire risk assessment myself?

You can do a fire risk assessment yourself as long as you have the help of standard fire safety risk assessment guides. However, if you don't have the expertise to do the fire risk assessment yourself, you need to appoint a 'competent person' to help.

As an employer, you are the responsible person for ensuring fire risk assessments are carried out correctly, but that doesn't mean the employer has to do it themselves. They can appoint a competent person to do so. Our online fire safety awareness course will cover risk assessments and how to conduct one.

How often should staff take Fire Safety Awareness training?

Staff should receive fire safety awareness training every 12 months to ensure they understand fire safety protocols and know how to respond in case of a fire. In some situations and for specific workplace members, more frequent training may be necessary.
