How this course works
Fire safety training is a legal requirement for employers almost everywhere, and a fire safety certificate is a common requirement for anyone acting as a fire warden, marshal, or responsible person.
What this course covers
The syllabus common to workplace fire safety qualifications: how fire behaves, the causes of workplace fires, fire prevention, detection and warning, extinguisher types and their correct use, evacuation procedures, fire risk assessment, and the duties of a fire warden.
How the course is arranged
| MODULE | WHAT IT COVERS |
|---|---|
| Fire behaviour | The fire triangle, classes of fire, how fire spreads |
| Prevention and detection | Common causes, controls, alarms, and signage |
| Extinguishers | The five types, colour codes, and correct use |
| Evacuation | Procedures, assembly points, and assisting others |
| Risk assessment and duties | The five steps, and the fire warden role |
Each module ends with an exam-style quiz.
A NOTE ON LEGISLATION Fire safety law differs by country. In the UK the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places duties on the “responsible person”; other countries have equivalent frameworks. The physics of fire and the practical procedures in this course are universal — the specific legal duties, inspection regimes, and certification requirements are not. Check your national and local fire authority’s requirements.
THIS COURSE DOES NOT MAKE YOU A FIREFIGHTER It prepares you to prevent fires, to evacuate safely, and to use an extinguisher on a small fire in its earliest stage. Tackling anything beyond that is the job of the fire service.
