Having fire extinguishers strategically placed in your establishment is not a complete answer to fire safety. Your organization should have an internal system established to prevent and respond to manmade and natural emergencies.
Our Basic Fire Safety Training Course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to prevent fires in the workplace and also focuses on the basic elements of fire prevention and protection.
The Learning Objectives is to understand:
• detailed knowledge of the fire safety strategy of the premises;
• awareness of human behavior in fires;
• how to encourage others to use the most appropriate escape route;
• how to search safely and recognize areas that are unsafe to enter;
• the difficulties that some people, particularly if disabled, may have in escaping and any special evacuation arrangements that have been pre-planned;
• additional training in the use of firefighting equipment;
• an understanding of the purpose of any fixed firefighting equipment such as sprinklers or gas flooding systems; and
• Reporting of faults, incidents and near misses.
The actions of employees if there is a fire are likely to be crucial to their safety and that of other people in the premises. All employees should receive basic fire safety induction training and attend refresher sessions at pre-determined intervals.
You should ensure that all employee and contractors are told about the Fire Emergency Plan and are shown the escape routes.
The training should take account of the findings of the fire risk assessment and be easily understood by all those attending. It should include the role that employees will be expected to carry out if a fire occurs. This may vary in large premises, with some employees being appointed as fire marshals or being given some other particular role for which additional training will be required.

• How to carry out a fire risk assessment
• Fire safety awareness for all employees
• Fire safety training for fire wardens
