Fire Awareness

Whatever environment you operate in, all staff legally require Fire Awareness training. Get the basics covered, keep your workplace safe and work towards compliance with current legislation with this best-selling online training course.

Learning outcome:

• Help meet requirements of The Fire Safety Order 2005 and The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• Understand how fire begins and how it spreads and how to tackle it (includes the different types of fire extinguishers)
• Learn how to implement an effective emergency procedure in the case of fire and what to do if you can’t escape

Content:

1. The Nature of Fire: To begin, we cover the nature of fire – how it works, and the different ways in which it can spread; we also cover smoke and the dangers it poses. This introduction is important for users so they understand what behaviour to expect from fire and smoke. It will help in the process of keeping the workplace safe.
2. Fire Signage: Health and safety signs are used to communicate important messages to prevent injury or give instructions in an emergency. This section identifies the different types of signs you may see in the workplace; we define what they look like, what they mean, and our Traffic Light System provides a simple way to remember the different types.
3. Fire Hazards: In this section, we discuss the potential fire hazards that can arise in the workplace – covering ignition sources, flammables and combustibles. We also discuss certain working practices that need to be implemented to avoid creating fire hazards.
4. Emergency Procedure: This section explains what action to take in the event of an emergency. This step-by-step process includes raising the alarm, calling emergency services, and an evacuation procedure. We also explain what you should do if you’re unable to escape in an emergency, including a demonstration of the “Stop, Drop & Roll” technique. 
5. Portable Fire Extinguishers: To conclude our programme, this section teaches users about when it’s safe to fight a fire, and when it’s NOT. We provide demonstrations on how to use the five common types of fire extinguisher, as well as fire blankets. Users learn about the different “Classes of Fire”, and which extinguisher to use on each class.

Importance of training:

Fire and Health and Safety legislation requires employers to provide fire training for ALL staff by law. It’s good practice for employers to train staff at least every 12 months. Empowering your staff with the knowledge and understanding of how to act responsibly in the event of a fire and raising awareness of potential risks and hazards will ensure you operate within the law and protect your workforce and business against significant losses as a result of a fire.
