Fire Safety Training

Fire safety training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to:

• Prevent fires by identifying and avoiding common workplace hazards.
• Respond effectively during an emergency, including safe evacuation procedures.
• Use fire extinguishers correctly, helping contain small fires before they escalate.

Proper training not only saves lives but also reduces property damage and helps businesses comply with legal requirements. By law, a Fire Risk Assessment must be carried out by a competent person, and records maintained if your business has five or more employees or holds a relevant licence. Failure to comply can result in fines or penalties.
