Keep your workplace safe and learn about the risks that fire poses to health and safety. You'll learn about the nature of fire and what it takes for a fire to start and how it can easily travel through a building. This course will also introduce you to fire signage, allow you to participate in interactive fire extinguisher training, and gain an informed overview of evacuation procedures. You'll also learn how to react in the case of an emergency and learn which procedures should already be in place at your place of work.

Clear, good pace
This was one of the better courses I have done on-line. The information was clear and delivered at a good pace. I also felt that the science was explained well, with the right level of detail.
very educational and informative
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Very informative
Excellent course to give you the basics for fire awareness, simple to follow and very informative.
Clear and informative
I enjoyed watching the videos, this was much better than just reading the information. It was also really helpful to see how the extinguishers are used on the videos on 'real' fires. The trainer gave very clear and precise information that was easy to understand. I also found having the gaps between each section with a summary very helpful to help consolidate the information that was shared.
Tells you all you need to know

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005 states that the responsible person must ensure that their employees are provided with adequate safety training:
The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training. [this must] (a) include suitable and sufficient instruction and training on the appropriate precautions and actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises; (b) be repeated periodically where appropriate
Fire and Health and Safety legislation requires employers to provide fire training for ALL staff by law. It's good practice for employers to train staff at least every 12 months. Empowering your staff with the knowledge and understanding of how to act responsibly in the event of a fire and raising awareness of potential risks and hazards will ensure you operate within the law and protect your workforce and business against significant losses as a result of a fire.
