Fire Warden Training

Fire Warden

Teaching you how to identify and control fire risks

What is fire warden training?

According to the Fire Protection Association, 77% of businesses that experience a major fire never fully recover. Fire warden training covers a variety of areas including; legislation, causes of fire, fire prevention, fire evacuation procedures, extinguisher use, safety features, emergency procedures, role and responsibilities, fire assembly and managing people under pressure.

Is fire warden training a legal requirement?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires employers to have a strategy to evacuate all occupants within a building. The legislation implements a risk-based approach to fire safety in community, industrial and business premises and requires the responsible person (usually the employer, owner or occupier) to carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement appropriate fire precautionary and protection measures, and to maintain a fire management plan.

Who can do fire warden training?

This one-day fire warden course is designed to introduce delegates to the identification and control of fire risks. It is suitable for people with responsibility for fire safety - fire wardens and fire marshals, as well as line managers, supervisors and safety representatives.

"The trainer was excellent, he has a unique way of getting information across to students and everyone is always full of praise when they complete the course."
