Fire Awareness/Fire Warden
Fire Awareness and Fire Warden Training are essential components of workplace safety.
- Fire Awareness Training: Educates employees on the basics of fire safety, including fire prevention, identifying fire hazards, and understanding emergency procedures.
- Fire Warden Training: Designed for designated fire wardens or marshals. It covers responsibilities such as leading evacuations, using firefighting equipment, and conducting fire drills.
Why it is required
In the UK, fire safety training is mandated by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). This legislation requires that all workplaces and the common areas of buildings with multiple domestic premises provide relevant fire safety information, instruction, and training to employees and/residents.
Who is Responsible?
- The FSO places legal duties on the “Responsible Person” typically the employer, owner or landlord, to ensure that their staff receive appropriate fire safety training. This includes appointing and training fire wardens.
Who Can Deliver It?
- Certified Training Providers: Fire safety training should be delivered by qualified professionals. This can include in-house safety officers or external training providers who specialise in fire safety.
