Fire Training
Fire training includes recognising hazards, prevention measures, evacuation procedures, and proper equipment use to minimise fire risks. Teaching employees to prevent fires, respond effectively and, where appropriate, to use firefighting equipment is vital for promoting workplace safety.
Why is Fire Training Required?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement to provide adequate fire safety training to ensure employee and visitor safety. It equips individuals with life-saving skills and knowledge to prevent and respond to fires effectively.
Who is Responsible?
In most circumstances, the owner, employer, or occupier of the premises is responsible for providing regular fire training as part of the implementation of fire safety measures. This person is known as the “responsible person” in the Order.
Who Can Deliver Fire Training?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that Fire training can be delivered by qualified professionals, this could be external training providers, competent, designated fire wardens, or the “responsible person”.
