About this course
This course contains everything you need to know to become a fully qualified Fire Marshal. This programme is designed to suit the working environment of those within the care sector.
Fire Warden Training in Care is designed to help you understand your legal duties when it comes to performing risk assessments, coordinating fire evacuations and managing emergency procedures. It is suitable for anyone wishing to undertake Fire Marshal responsibilities within a hospital or care home environment and will help ensure your workplace is safe.
Evacuation in a fire emergency and preventing fires within the care industry is an incredibly important role. There will usually be a lot of people to evacuate within a care home and sometimes many of them are not mobile. Therefore, precautions have to be put in place for this.
This training will be broken down into 5 sections: an introduction into what a fire warden's responsibilities are, what preventative measures can be taken, what to do in an evacuation, the different fire extinguishers and a look into the relevant legislation.
This programme also takes a look at basic fire extinguisher use; effective fire prevention measures; and current legislation. Get started today with a free trial!

A long course , very in-depth but good
I enjoyed the course, learnt a great deal , a lot of information on the fire warden duties etc but a little long.
Good and detailed
Not necessarily specific to residential social care homes, but many principles and info are the same and good food for thought to take away!
Why is this training important?
Compliance

The responsible person (property owner, company director etc) must, where necessary, nominate competent persons to implement those measures and ensure that the number of such persons, their training and the equipment available to them are adequate, taking into account the size of, and the specific hazards involved in, the premises concerned...
