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 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.
