This course is intended for those given the responsibility of fire warden as delegates will be taught how to assist an organisation in meeting their responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the ‘responsible person’ to establish appropriate emergency procedures including safety drills and to nominate a sufficient number of competent persons to implement those procedures. The number of competent persons required and the level of training will depend on the findings of a fire risk assessment.

This course aims to equip those with responsibilities for implementing these plans with sufficient knowledge to do so safely.

SSG offer this course over one day as a classroom course.
