Why is fire safety awareness training important?

Fires are extremely dangerous; every year there are thousands of workplace fires where people get seriously injured and sometimes people are killed. Therefore staff in the workplace need to be able to react quickly and properly if a fire breaks out. Fire safety training helps to avoid the possibility of injury and death, as well as the loss of property. People can make mistakes due to ignorance when it comes to fighting fires or escaping a dangerous situation. That’s why fire safety knowledge can help staff to keep calm when a fire alarm sounds. If all employees are confident about what to do and where to go in the event of a fire, people will be safer. Fire safety awareness training can literally save lives.

Can this training course act as evidence for SSIP accreditations like CHAS, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine?

Providing evidence of industry-related training is important for all SSIP accreditations. Our training course certificates can be used as evidence that you have received appropriate health and safety training. Please note as every company has different training requirements, it will be up to each individual accreditation body to decide if our online courses are sufficient for your needs.

This Fire Safety Awareness course explains the conditions which promote fire. It also explains how to prevent fires from starting and what to do should a fire break out.

Training people in fire safety helps them understand the importance of following fire safety measures and means they are less likely to panic in an emergency. They become aware of how they need to act if a fire breaks out, so they can safely and quickly evacuate the premises.

The course ensures learners are compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. The course has been updated to cover the amendments made to the Fire Safety Order by Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022, that came into effect in October 2023.

It is a legal requirement for every employee of every business in the UK to complete adequate fire safety awareness training. This should be taken when they are first employed and again whenever there are new or increased risks.

The law requires all employees to receive adequate fire safety training. Our training course is an effective way to train employees in any type of business, including office environments, schools, nurseries, GP practices and dental surgeries.
