Why does your organisation need Fire Warden Training?

Because in the event of a fire, trained fire wardens are essential in minimising risk of serious injury or death during evacuation. They are also essential to ensuring that the premises is assessed regularly for fire prevention/safety and that other occupants/employees are using good practise to avoid a fire occurring, or minimising Fire spreading/escape routes being compromised.

Who provides your training?

We offer a classroom-based Fire Warden Training, carried out on your premises by our trainers. They have over 30 years’ experience of managing fire safety for several companies. Their qualifications include NEBOSH General and Fire safety certificates, practical Fire investigation and BAFE Fire extinguisher training as well as City & Guilds delivering learning.

Course content

Our course was reviewed and enhanced in 2019 to reflect changes in the regulations and fire safety equipment. It also now includes an interactive assessment for the attendees, ensuring that the information delivered has been understood. All attendees, with a pass rate of 70% or more, will be issued with a certificate showing they’ve achieved a level of competence, to be a Fire Warden. The certificate will be issued with the pass mark.

The training will take approx. 3 hours with sessions starting at either 10 am or 1pm and covers the following subjects:

Describe when and how to raise the alarm

Describe when and how you could tackle a fire

State the correct method of evacuating premises

Illustrate the role of the nominated fire warden in both an emergency and non-emergency fire situation

List the principles of and reasons for zoning buildings for emergency evacuations

List the features of a typical fire door and protected means of escape route

State the intended use of portable hand-held fire extinguishers

Explain how to prepare a fire extinguisher for use

Each delegate receives a copy of the course notes and if achieves 70% or more in the assessment, will also receive a certificate.

The benefits of conducting the course at your place of work.

The trainer can offer a review of your emergency plan and fire safety policy and how this is communicated to your employees, to help enhance the management fire safety procedures and policies. This can help to ensure a speedy and efficient safe evacuation of your area in an emergency.
