Whether you work in an office, hotel, restaurant, care home, warehouse, or retail premises, fire safety awareness training is a legal requirement and a fundamental part of workplace health and safety. This course is regularly updated to reflect current UK fire safety legislation and best practice guidance from the Home Office and local fire and rescue services.
