Fire Safety Awareness

This course is suitable for employees at all functional levels within the organisation who require a basic understanding of fire risk and fire control

The e-learning format is particularly beneficial for:

• Learners who prefer flexible, self-directed study

• Busy professionals who need on-demand access

• Those who benefit from interactive content rather than traditional text-based learning

• Remote teams and organisations seeking consistent training across multiple sites

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that “the responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training.” The level of training will depend on findings from a fire risk assessment.

The SSG Fire Safety Awareness course aims to provide a basic understanding of fire, improve fire safety by raising awareness of fire prevention and precautions and use of extinguishers.

As part of our modern learning approach, this qualification is also available through interactive e-learning, designed to increase engagement, flexibility and learner confidence. Our digital platform supports active learning through scenario-based activities, short knowledge checks, multimedia content and tutor-supported forums. This enables learners to study in a way that suits their schedule and preferred learning style.

SSG offer this course over half a day as a classroom or virtual course.

We can also offer this as a flexible e-learning course, allowing delegates to study anytime, anywhere and at a pace that suits them. The course takes approximately 60 minutes of learning to complete.

Delegates will be given a three-month licence from first access to complete the course. Once this licence expires, delegates will be required to pay a fee to reactivate it and should contact our Customer Service Team for more information.
