Your questions answered

We’re here to answer any questions you may have about fire safety training. We’ve compiled and answered some of our most frequently asked questions. If you don’t find the information you need, feel free to contact us directly.

1 / Is fire safety training a legal requirement?

Yes, the Regulatory Reform Order 2005 requires that all employees receive fire safety training. Employers are also obligated to provide clear and relevant fire safety guidance. As per UK Government regulations, this training is a legal requirement for all employees.

2 / What types of fire training courses do you offer?

We offer a range of courses, including fire marshal and coordinator training, general fire safety awareness, and practical fire extinguisher training.

3 / Who should attend the fire training sessions?

All employees, especially those in key roles such as managers, and staff involved in emergency response, should attend the training.​

4 / How often should training occur?

In the UK, it is generally recommended that staff undergo fire safety training at least once a year. This is to ensure that all employees are aware of the procedures in case of a fire, as well as any new risks associated with changes in the workplace.

For industries that present a higher risk, such as hospitality or care facilities, more frequent training - typically every six months - may be advisable. Additionally, any significant changes to the workplace, such as new equipment or staff turnover, should trigger additional training sessions to ensure everyone is adequately prepared.

5 / How many people should be trained?

All staff should be equipped with some degree of fire safety training. Some members of staff may be required to take a more active role and be trained to become a fire marshal. Although more responsibility will fall with the fire marshal, having all your staff trained will give them the confidence to reduce risk.

6 / Will we receive certification after completing the training?

Yes, participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course, which can be used to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements.

7 / How do we book training?

​You can book training by contacting us directly through our website. We’ll guide you through the process and discuss your needs in detail. Complete the contact us form at the bottom of any page of our website.

8 / Can training be conducted at our location?

​Yes, we offer on-site training to minimise disruption to your operations and provide a familiar environment for your employees.

Five reasons to train onsite:

1. Minimal disruption to your operations

You can schedule training sessions at a time and date that best fits your business needs, reducing disruption to schedules and ensuring staff are onsite, ready to return to work immediately after training.

3. Convenience and efficiency

Onsite training effectively eliminates travel time and costs, reduces downtime, and makes it easier for all employees to participate, ultimately leading to significantly higher attendance rates.

2. Train more employees simultaneously

Offering more cost-effective training than sending staff to an offsite facility, this centralised approach significantly reduces downtime and allows you to effectively optimise your training budget.

4. Within a familiar environment

Onsite training enables your employees to practice emergency procedures in your actual workplace, improving their navigation skills and boosting confidence during real emergencies.
