Fire Marshal
Fire Warden and Fire Marshal training plays a critical role in maintaining workplace fire safety. The fire warden or fire marshal holds key responsibilities that help protect people, property, and business operations. Therefore, anyone in this role must understand fire risks and know how to act decisively in an emergency.
This Fire Marshal training course is suitable for those new to the role as well as those already acting as a fire warden. It provides clear guidance on legal duties and everyday responsibilities under UK fire safety law. The training supports compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires employers to assess fire risks and put appropriate fire safety measures in place. Learners develop practical skills in fire prevention, fire risk assessment, and emergency preparedness.
In addition, the course covers evacuation procedures, assembly points, and the safe use of fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers. Fire incidents such as fires, explosions, and gas leaks can occur without warning in any workplace. As a result, staff must feel confident responding quickly and calmly.
This training explains how to raise the alarm, support safe evacuations, and reduce risk during a fire emergency. Learners also explore how to limit damage and support business continuity following an incident. Furthermore, the course highlights the importance of regular checks, drills, and staff awareness.
