Fire safety training and the law

Employers must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and ensure safe escape for both employees and visitors. They must:

  • Ensure all employees are provided with adequate safety training at the time they are first employed and on being exposed to new and increased risks.
  • Appoint one or more ‘competent persons’ to assist with fire safety in the workplace, and provide them with sufficient training to remain effective in reducing the risks from fire hazards.

The Level 2 Award in Managing Fire Safety is a one day course to develop basic fire safety awareness and provide the knowledge to carry out duties relating to fire safety and emergency procedures.
