Course Overview
This Fire Warden Training course is designed to equip staff with the essential knowledge and understanding needed to take on the role of a Fire Warden or Fire Marshal in the workplace. The course covers both proactive duties - such as helping to prevent fires - and reactive responsibilities, including how to respond effectively in the event of a fire.
Participants will gain an understanding of key fire safety legislation, including the Fire Safety Order 2005 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, helping organisations meet their legal obligations. The course also includes practical guidance on when it is safe to tackle a fire, how to use different types of fire extinguishers correctly, and when evacuation is the safest course of action.
This online training serves as an important step towards improving workplace fire safety, though it should be complemented with practical, hands-on instruction.
