Office Fire Safety Awareness Training

Office Fire Safety Awareness Training is not optional as there is a legal requirement on employers to prepare an Emergency Plan that outlines how the workplace will be evacuated in the event of a fire outbreak. The Office Fire Awareness course aims to inform Managers and Staff of their responsibilities in participating in a fire drill and in the Emergency Plan effectively and safely.  Where a member of staff has a position of authority in relation to Fire Safety in the Workplace, the member of staff should have a certain level of competency. This training will provide the individual with the required competency. The Office Fire Training Course provides participants with a comprehensive knowledge of their duties and actions to be followed during a fire, as part of the Emergency Plan. The course enables staff with an enhanced fire safety role to meet the training requirements detailed in the current workplace fire safety legislation with the course curriculum covering:

• Fire prevention
• A Legislation module
• Identification of possible fire hazards in the workplace
• Fire and smoke behaviour theory.
• Human behaviour and fire-fighting.
