Fire Awareness and Extinguisher Training

Take Control of Fire Emergencies

When it comes to handling a fire incident in the workplace, it’s important to know what equipment to use and how and when to use it, otherwise you could make the situation a whole lot worse.

Our Fire Safety Awareness and Extinguisher course is designed for just that. Giving your staff a solid understanding of fire safety and the confidence to use firefighting equipment in the event of a fire.

We come to you, so there’s no need to worry about relocating your staff for the day. The course involves a mix of classroom based learning and practical, hands-on training. We’ll just need a place to set up our laptop and projector, and 2 of your carparking spaces for the practical.

Delegates can gain hands-on experience in using extinguishers and fire blankets during the live practical session, with the additional option to include a ‘live fire’ experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no need to come with prior experience. This course is suitable for people who have no fire safety knowledge through to those that do.
The course is a half day course. Approximately 4 hours.
Two reasons.
- It’s a legal requirement that all employers provide appropriate fire safety training for their staff.
- It helps secure the safety of your premises and your most important people (your team, if you were wondering)

Avoid ‘floaty’ clothes. Other than that, come in what’s most comfortable (and appropriate for work).
Of course. We understand that every business is different and has different requirements. We can amend current courses or write a completely bespoke course to suit the needs of the business.

Online is something we’re considering should the demand grow for it.
However at present all our courses are in-person. We find this provides a better learning experience, with the ability to ask and discuss questions with our expert instructors.
