Fire Marshal/Warden Course

Course Overview:

The Fire Marshal/Warden course is the most detailed and comprehensive training for staff and is designed to enable persons that have a specific fire safety designated responsibility to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

All companies or organisations must have in place arrangements for dealing with imminent danger and train persons to implement the arrangements.

This course will prepare your designated staff to primarily understand the hazards and associated risk that fire may present in their workplace, they will learn how to mitigate the risk of fire and how to cope in an effective and more importantly safe way with an outbreak of fire at work.
