Fire Safety Training for Businesses

Professional Training for Businesses

Are you responsible for employees or volunteers in a workplace or organisation? Then you must provide fire safety training as part of the routine training and induction process. According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a “responsible” person must be appointed to manage fire safety at the workplace and provide appropriate training to the employees. Since each organisation has its own set of challenges and fire safety issues, it is your responsibility to get professional training providers that can adapt and deliver as per the organisation’s specific needs.

Importance of Fire Safety Training

Apart from being a legal requirement, this training is essential for several reasons. First, it will help keep the employees and other members safe in the event of a fire and equip them with the knowledge that can help them save the lives of others who may need help.

Second, it will also provide insights and information on ensuring minimal damage to the building in a fire. Lastly, fire safety training can help educate your employees about preventing fires from happening in the first place.

Areas Covered in the Training

Every organisation has different fire safety requirements. Depending on your organisation and the number of employees, training should be provided to everyone working in your organisation, including permanent and temporary workers to contract staff. Some of the rules that are the main focus of the training are:

Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Prevention Strategies
Smoking Policy
Good Cleanliness and Housekeeping
Emergency and Evacuation Plans
Certifications, Licenses and Permits for the Business Premises

The training will also cover other areas such as:

Escape Routes, Exits and Disabled Refuge Areas
Assigning Tasks to Specific Employees; like Informing Authorities in Case of a Fire
Evacuation Plans for the Disabled and Vulnerable
Location of the Fire Alarm and Fire Fighting Equipment
Location of Fire Doors and Exits
Shutting Down Appropriate Machinery in the Event of a Fire
Learning How to Operate Fire Fighting Equipment
Reporting False Alarms
Conducting Drills

The Right Time

The ideal opportunity for providing fire safety training to staff members is at the time of their induction. Following that, a refresher training should be offered annually to keep your employees updated about the latest rules and practices. You may be required to provide training more frequently if you have a constant influx of new employees or if your business premises are at a higher risk of fire.
