Frequently asked questions
Is fire safety training mandatory for employees?
Workplace fire safety arrangements need suitable staff instruction and training. Staff should understand the fire risks, alarm and evacuation procedures for their premises. Extinguisher use depends on the fire strategy, the person's training and whether it is safe; taking an awareness course is not an instruction to tackle a fire.
How often does fire safety training need to be renewed?
Training needs review when risks or procedures change and repetition where appropriate. Follow the arrangements identified for your premises rather than treating a certificate date as a universal legal interval. Your £35 entry-plan licence includes course refreshers during its access period.
How long does fire safety training take?
The listed study time is 1 hour, completed online at your own pace. You can pause and return within your chosen access period.
What does fire safety awareness training cover?
The course covers the causes of fire, fire prevention measures in the workplace, fire safety legislation, emergency evacuation procedures, different types of fire extinguishers and when to use them, and the basics of fire risk assessment.
