Who should attend
Why fire safety training matters
Legal obligation
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person in all non-domestic premises to provide appropriate fire safety training. Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines, enforcement notices and prosecution.
Protect lives
Fires in non-domestic premises result in deaths, serious injuries and significant business disruption every year. Trained fire marshals and well-practised evacuation procedures directly save lives.
Reduce fire risk
Trained staff identify fire hazards earlier, maintain firefighting equipment properly and respond more effectively in emergencies — reducing both the likelihood of a fire and its consequences if one occurs.
Improve evacuation
Effective evacuation depends on trained fire marshals who know the procedures, can assist vulnerable persons and can liaise with the emergency services. Untrained marshals create confusion and delay.
Protect property and business continuity
Workplace fires cause significant property damage and can result in prolonged business closure. Prevention and early response training reduces the scale of damage when incidents occur.
Demonstrate due diligence
Documented, accredited fire safety training provides evidence of compliance during fire authority inspections, insurance assessments and following a fire incident — reducing liability exposure significantly.
