Fire Safety Awareness Course

Fire Safety Awareness Course

This course is designed for all employees as an introduction to basic fire safety awareness and is an excellent ingredient in
the induction programme of new employees. The qualification also provides a foundation to those employees who want to
develop their fire safety awareness.

You will, no doubt, be well aware of the potentially devastating effects of fires in the workplace in terms of lives lost, injuries, damage to property and the environment, and business continuity. You may also be aware that it is believed that most fires are preventable.

The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training.

Our courses are supportive and flexible to adapt to your workplace needs. All our highly skilled tutors are very experienced with a fresh, fun and friendly approach to training. 

Course Duration

A minimum of 4 contact hours in the classroom.

On the course, we will cover range of subjects, including:

• The common causes of fire

Certification

Successful candidates will be awarded a national Level 1 Qualification (Level 4 in Scotland).
