Fire Safety Awareness

Do you feel confident in your knowledge of fire safety? Would you know how to respond should a fire occur? If not, then our fire awareness course is recommended for you. The course will help you to understand what causes and accelerates fire, as well as learning about the legal responsibilities of people responsible for the safety of others.

Fire is the probably the biggest risk threat to life that most people face at work, with around 50 people being killed and over 2000 seriously injured every year. In order to minimise the risk of fire in the workplace, it is vital that everyone is aware of the common causes and the appropriate actions to take, including how to escape safely from the scene.

What is the law regarding Fire Safety? Employers are legally required by Fire Safety Regulations (The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) to provide information, instruction and training to employees about fire precautions in the workplace. This online fire safety course helps you to fulfil this obligation by providing your staff with the knowledge and understanding required to act safely in the event of a fire in the workplace, without the need to travel or take a full day away from the office.
