Fire Marshal Training - Online Course

Description

This online Fire Marshal training course makes you aware of the duties and responsibilities of a fire warden / fire marshal.

The course covers the routine duties of a fire marshal (often referred to as a fire warden) and the role they play in emergencies. It includes how the fire marshal can help other workers to evacuate safely, how to check that a building has been evacuated, and what to do once outside the building. It is also important to understand how people react when an alarm sounds and how a sound knowledge of what to do will gain you valuable time in an emergency.

The Fire Marshal course relates to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.

A fire marshal, or fire warden, plays a key role in fire prevention and the safe evacuation of a building in an emergency.

Fires happen. If your workplace ever faces a fire emergency, having a designated fire warden, appropriately trained, could be key to a good outcome.

Although it is the employer's responsibility to ensure precautions are in place, it is the role of the fire marshal to run drills and undertake regular fire prevention checks.
