Fire Warden Training Course

A Fire Warden training course (also known as a Fire Marshal course) teaches you how to identify fire hazards, reduce fire risks, and respond effectively during a workplace fire emergency.

The training gives you the knowledge needed to act as a responsible person on site, helping to lower the risk of fire and improve overall fire safety within the workplace.

Why Take the Fire Warden Training Course?

This course is essential for employees who have responsibility for fire safety and emergency procedures at work. It helps ensure the safety of colleagues by teaching you how to carry out fire warden duties correctly and confidently.

In the course, you will learn how to conduct your fire warden duties within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Depending on the size of your business, you will need a certain number of fire marshals. You will require enough to cover the size of the building and enough backup if any fire wardens are absent. You don’t want to be in an emergency with no trained personnel on-site.

By having one or more fire wardens in your business, you contribute to reducing the fire hazards in the workplace. They will notice high-risk activity and prevent the risk. Fire can not only be hazardous, but it can also be very costly to a business afterwards.
