Fire Marshal Course :

Fire marshal training is crucial for ensuring safety in any environment. Our training will ensure all delegates have a comprehensive understanding of the importance of fire safety in your company.

The training takes into the current regulations, The Fire Safety (England) Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order

  • Role of Fire Warden and record keeping.
  • How fire spreads.
  • The elements of fire and the fire triangle.
  • Fire prevention and reducing risk.
  • Common causes of fire.
  • Types of potential injures.
  • Appropriate storage of flammables.
  • Inspections, checks and policies.
  • Fire drills and evacuations.
  • Current colour coding of extinguishers.
  • Practical demonstration for delegates using fire extinguishers.

All delegates receive certification.

How many Fire Marshals does a workplace need?

There is no fixed legal number of Fire Marshals required for every workplace. The appropriate number depends on the findings of the fire risk assessment, including the building’s size, occupancy, layout, shift patterns and evacuation arrangements.

Is Fire Marshal Training a legal requirement in the UK?

Under current fire safety legislation employers are required to implement appropriate fire safety arrangements, including suitable training for persons responsible for implementing appropriate fire safety arrangements.  In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the nomination of competent people to assist with fire safety measures where necessary.

How often should Fire Marshal Training be renewed?

There is no universal legal expiry date for Fire Marshal Training certificates. Many organisations arrange refresher training every three years as good practice, with earlier training where workplace risks, procedures or responsibilities change.

What is the difference between a Fire Marshal and a Fire Extinguisher Training?

Fire Marshal Training focuses on the responsibilities of a nominated Fire Marshal in the workplace, covering essential fire safety procedures, fire prevention, emergency evacuation and the safe use of fire extinguishers.

Fire Extinguisher Training focuses on workplace fire safety, fire prevention and the correct use of fire extinguishers, without covering the additional responsibilities of a nominated Fire Marshal.

 

Can Fire Marshal Training be delivered at our workplace?

Yes. We can deliver Fire Marshal Training onsite at your business. As the training is 1/2 day we can deliver either run one 1/2 course or do two lots of training with one course in the morning and another course in the afternoon. To run the course we would just need a meeting room large enough to accommodate the delegates and trainer. We offer Fire Marshal  training for companies Norfolk, Suffolk, the East of England and across the UK.

We also offer open courses at our training centre in Wymondham. Please contact us for open course dates or delivering training at your site.
