Fire Marshal Course

Professional Fire Warden Training for Workplace Safety and Compliance

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all employers and business owners have a legal responsibility to provide employees with adequate fire safety training1. Furthermore, Article 18 of the order requires a “Responsible Person” to appoint one or more “Competent Persons” to assist with fire safety and emergency evacuations. Our Fire Marshal Course is designed to meet these legal requirements, ensuring your designated workplace marshals have the knowledge to perform their duties effectively3.

Consequently, this training empowers your team to identify hazards and manage emergency situations safely. By appointing trained Fire Marshals, you ensure a safer environment for staff and visitors while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
