Hse Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Warden Training

Our Hse Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Warden Training ensures that employers and persons responsible for commercial buildings are able to manage fire risks in compliance with the current law.

It is important to ensure plans are in place to both prevent and reduce the risk of fire, in-line with the New Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This course is designed for those involved in the undertaking or assisting with fire risk assessments, the company’s designated Fire Warden and those tasked with the use of a fire extinguisher.

Aims of the course

Our training will provide delegates with the skills and knowledge to enable them to keep their workplace safe, under the current legal requirements for fire safety.

The aim of this course is for our delegates to understand how to manage an emergency evacuation procedure, identify classes of fire and understand which type of extinguisher to use on each class. This ensures they will successfully be able to carry out the day-to-day duties of a fire warden, assist with fire risk assessments and correctly use a fire extinguisher.
