Basic Fire Safety (face to face)

From £49.99

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 & made fire safety training a legal requirement for every member of staff. This 3 hour Basic Fire Safety will give you the fundamental information required to act safely should a fire be discovered on your premises.

You can then alert your fire wardens to the danger and evacuate the premises. With the current watchword in fire safety being “competence”, a short course such as this 3-hour course cannot train you sufficiently to be a competent fire warden.
