This half-day course will prepare employees to act in the capacity of Fire Warden or Fire Marshal in their place of work. There is a legal requirement on employers to prepare an Emergency Plan outlining how the workplace will be evacuated in the event of a fire outbreak and Fire Wardens have an important role in the execution of this plan. Our Fire Warden Training course provides participants with a comprehensive breakdown of their duties and actions to be followed during a fire or emergency. It also highlights the dangers of fire in the workplace and the importance of fire prevention and the need for urgent action in the event of an emergency. Participants will also gain practical experience of using a fire extinguisher in a controlled live-fire demonstration (subject to suitable conditions).
