Fire safety training is essential for maintaining a safe working environment and ensuring compliance with legal requirements such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021. It equips staff with the knowledge and skills needed to prevent fires, manage emergencies, and protect lives and property. Courses like Basic Fire Awareness, Fire Marshal/Warden, Fire Extinguisher training, and Evacuation Chair training play a critical role in preparing staff for a variety of scenarios, from using fire extinguishers effectively to ensuring safe evacuation procedures, especially for disabled individuals.
These tailored courses enhance overall safety culture, enabling employees to recognise fire hazards, understand the importance of fire policies and procedures, and respond quickly and correctly in emergencies. They also help businesses meet regulatory obligations, reducing the risk of penalties and improving overall fire safety compliance. By investing in comprehensive fire safety training, businesses protect both their employees and their premises, promoting a safer, more prepared workplace.
The Basic Fire Extinguisher hands-on course is essential as it equips users with practical skills to
safely and effectively use extinguishers in an emergency. This training enhances confidence and ensures users can act quickly to control small fires and protect lives and property.

Length: Approx 1.5 hours
The Basic Fire Awareness Course is vital for staff, providing a comprehensive understanding of fire safety laws, fire behaviour, and emergency procedures. It covers key topics like evacuation, alarm responses, and fire extinguisher use, helping staff stay compliant, confident, and prepared to respond effectively in the event of a fire, both at work and home.
This includes:
Length: Approx 2 hours
The Fire Marshal/Warden Course is crucial for designated staff, offering in-depth training on fire safety legislation, hazard identification, and fire warden duties. Participants learn how to effectively manage fire emergencies, spot risks in the workplace, and ensure safe evacuations, enhancing overall fire safety management and compliance both at work and at home.
This Includes:
Length: Approx 3 hours
Evacuation Chair Training is essential for ensuring the safe evacuation of disabled individuals during emergencies. This hands-on course teaches staff how to properly operate the chair, secure individuals, and practice evacuation techniques. It builds confidence and ensures that staff can effectively assist in evacuations, safeguarding the safety of all individuals.
What to Expect During Evac Chair Training:
A typical evacuation chair training course lasts for around three hours and covers all the essential information you need to know about the evac chair and how to use it. You will be given a thorough explanation of the various parts of the chair, and how they work together to help you safely evacuate a disabled person.
You will also be shown how to correctly position a person in the chair, and how to safely secure them in place. Once you have been shown how to use the chair, you will be given the opportunity to practice using it on your own.
This will help to ensure that you are confident in your ability to use the chair correctly and
that you understand all the safety procedures involved.
