By Liam PlumbFire safety awareness in the workplace helps to raise awareness amongst employees about the potential dangers of fire and the practical steps that can be taken to reduce, prevent, minimise and control the risks that it presents.
Here are T2 Fire, we provide a range of online fire safety training courses that are designed to help employees learn and retain important information about fire safety and how they can apply what they learn to their work environment.
- Why You Need Fire Safety Training
In any workplace, whether it’s an office, shop, restaurant, beauty salon or medical facility, it is essential that every necessary measure is taken to ensure that the staff, visitors and customers are kept safe.
Failing to provide the proper fire safety training not only greatly increases the chances of a fire occurring but in the event of a fire, leaves employees unprepared. This can result in greater damage to the property, stock and equipment as well as increases the likeliness of injury, harm or even loss of life.
- Types of Fire Safety Courses
We have designed our courses in a way that makes them as effective as possible and suitable for everyone whilst only taking a short amount of time to complete. Here is some information on the types of fire safety courses we have on offer;
- Basic Fire Safety Awareness
This course provides participants with a general overview of fire awareness, an understanding of how they can help to prevent fires occurring, what they need to do in the event of a fire and basic steps on how to extinguish a fire. This course is a cost-effective way for businesses to provide their employees with some vital fire awareness whilst fulfilling their legal obligations.
- Fire Marshal
Also known as fire wardens, fire marshals are civilians which are nominated within an organisation, company or business to assist in emergency fire evacuations. It is a legal requirement for workplaces to have a sufficient number of fire marshals in place for their particular premises and training is an essential part of that.
Our fire marshal course provides participants with the necessary knowledge, information and understanding of fire safety, fire prevention and evacuation protocols that they need to fulfil their roles as well as practical guidance on things like using fire extinguishers.
- Fire Extinguisher Training
This course covers how to effectively use different types of fire extinguishers to tackle fires as well as the varying protocols, techniques and pre-engagement action.
