Why’s It Important?
Good Fire Marshal training helps make sure the people supporting fire safety in your workplace understand their role, know what to look out for and feel confident about what to do in an emergency.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers must provide employees with adequate fire safety training and ensure that people appointed to assist with certain fire safety duties are competent to do so.
This course helps your Fire Marshals and Wardens understand fire hazards, evacuation arrangements and the practical steps they can take to support your wider fire safety procedures.
Having trained, confident people in place helps protect your employees, customers and visitors — and gives you reassurance that your fire safety arrangements can work in practice, not just on paper.
