Fire Safety Training
Fire Safety Training Courses with FireCare Solutions
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Order) Act (RRO) made it law for companies to arrange fire safety training for all staff on a regular basis. This should ideally be immediately for every new starter into a company and for all existing staff yearly. Fines can be levied for companies not following these guidelines.
The RRO also stipulates the Fire Safety Training must be carried out by a competent person i.e. those with up-to-date, training or relevant skills and experience.
Importantly staff also feel valued and secure following effective training. Read our customer testimonials here.

Fire Training FAQs
Responsible persons are required to take measures for fire-fighting in the premises (e.g. the drawing up of a suitable fire-fighting plan) where necessary for the purpose of safeguarding relevant persons in case of fire. Such measures as are taken will be tailored to the circumstances of the premises.
Responsible persons shall nominate a sufficient number of their employees to implement the fire measures and ensure that they are adequately trained and equipped to carry out their responsibilities.
The volume of Fire Wardens depends on many factors including the size of the premises, the volume of staff, the work carried out, the volume of visitors and who they are and so on, so there is no specific guidelines to this.
This provision of staff should complement rather than replace fire and rescue authorities’ fire-fighting role. The intention of the Order was to:
… make it clear that fire fighting equipment should be considered as a possible means of reducing a risk of fire spreading, providing protection and for providing assistance to others … It should also be considered as a possible means of mitigating the detrimental effects of a fire.
Nominated relevant persons should be able to tackle a fire if it is safe to do so and they know how to do it safely. They must not put themselves at risk to fight fire; their personal safety remains the priority.
Nonetheless this priority must not be used by responsible persons to avoid compliance with this requirement. By training an adequate number of employees to undertake first aid fire-fighting duties and inherent in that training must be the teaching of employees to recognise when first-aid fire-fighting is or is not safe to implement.
This training must be suitable and sufficient and must be to a level which allows the employee to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises.
An employee’s competence will decline if skills are not used regularly (e.g. in emergency procedures, operating a particular item of equipment or carrying out a task). Training therefore needs to be repeated periodically to ensure continued competence. Information from personal performance monitoring, fire safety checks, accident investigations and near-miss incidents can help to establish a suitable period for re-training.
Ideally this should be completed annually.
All staff will receive a certificate if they pass the training, a quiz/test will be carried out to ensure staff have taken on the training.
No, we do not wish to bring live fires to customers premises.
We bring extinguishers to use in practical scenarios where all staff will use a range of extinguishers on offer, getting to feel how they work and feel. Staff will be challenged to use the theoretical training they have received and put it into practice in scenario based examples.
