Legal context

If you are an employer, business owner or in control of premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that you must ensure your employees are provided with adequate safety training. In practice this means training every member of staff, including casual staff, and making sure any external companies working on your premises, such as security firms, are also trained in fire awareness.

Tailored delivery

Safe and Trained can bespoke the course to your business and industry, relating examples to real life scenarios to add value. Training uses up to date materials and handouts, and an after-care team follows up with learners and clients.

Questions

Is fire safety training a legal requirement?

Yes. Article 21 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to provide adequate fire safety training to employees at induction and periodically thereafter.

How often should staff repeat fire awareness training?

the Order requires periodic refreshers without fixing an interval. Annual refresher training is common practice and is often expected by insurers and fire risk assessors.

Does this course make someone a fire marshal or fire warden?

It covers the evacuation procedure, fire fighting equipment and the duties of a competent person, which are the core of a marshal role. Confirm with Safe and Trained if you need a course specifically badged as Fire Marshal.

Can casual and agency staff attend?

Yes, and they should. The law applies to all employees, including casual staff, and to external companies working on your premises.
