Fire Safety at Work: Why Every Team Needs This Essential Training

Summer Heat Brings Greater Fire Risk

With warmer, drier summers now common in the UK, the risk of fire in the workplace increases, especially on construction sites, in warehouses, and in environments with poor ventilation or flammable materials. Fire incidents often stem from small oversights and a lack of awareness, not just extreme situations.

Now is the time to make sure your team understands how to prevent fires, respond to hazards, and act quickly in an emergency.

Your Legal Responsibility as an Employer

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all employers to provide suitable fire safety training to their staff. This applies to every type of workplace, whether it’s an office, a retail shop, a warehouse, or a temporary worksite.

But meeting legal requirements is only part of the picture. Fire safety training gives your team the confidence to spot potential risks, follow safe procedures, and protect themselves and others if a fire occurs.

What the Fire Safety Awareness Course Covers

Our online Fire Safety Awareness course is designed to be practical, clear, and easy to complete. It’s suitable for all team members, whether they are new starters or in need of a refresher.

Topics covered include:

• Common causes of workplace fires

• Fire prevention and control measures

• Correct use of fire extinguishers

• Evacuation procedures and emergency protocols

• Roles and responsibilities of fire wardens and marshals

The course is CPD-certified and includes a short assessment at the end. Once completed, learners receive a digital certificate that can be used for audits, insurance purposes, or internal records.

Fast, Flexible and Cost-Effective

Delivered entirely online, the training can be accessed anytime and from any device. The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete, making it ideal for inductions, refreshers, or part of your onboarding process.
