Fire Safety awareness

Essential fire safety knowledge, from using extinguishers to spotting hazards and knowing escape routes.

Fire Safety awareness

This CPD-certified online course gives your team the essential knowledge and confidence to identify fire hazards, understand fire behaviour, and respond safely in an emergency. Covering everything from the legal duties of the Responsible Person to the correct use of fire extinguishers, the course is built around recognised UK fire safety legislation and workplace best practice all delivered in two hours, entirely online. Fire safety awareness training is a legal requirement for all employees, regardless of sector or role. Yet many organisations still rely on a laminated poster and an annual drill to meet that obligation. This course closes the gap properly equipping your people with the awareness, practical knowledge, and workplace-relevant scenarios they need to act with confidence if fire strikes.
