Course Description

Description

Fire Safety and Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (as amended).

This Fire Safety & Fire Warden training course helps you to comply with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. This Course covers basic fire safety training, fire extinguisher training, fire risk assessment training and fire warden training. The participant will learn to recognise the hazards that may lead to a fire, and how to react safely and responsibly in the event of one breaking out. Our aim is to inform Fire Wardens of their responsibilities in running a fire drill effectively and safely. It also details the steps involved in developing an Emergency Plan for the workplace.
