Fire Warden training · On site across the UK
Fire Warden training that brings your workplace into the room.
Get your team discussing everyday fire risks, looking at your evacuation arrangements and working through practical examples. We bring passion and enthusiasm to the subject, with time for questions about the role people carry out at your site.
Discuss Fire Warden trainingWho is it for?
Colleagues who support fire prevention and evacuation arrangements as fire wardens or fire marshals. We discuss their responsibilities, your site and the situations they may face before agreeing the training.
Your workplace
On-site delivery, with relevant examples from your buildings, activities and procedures.
Your people
New wardens and colleagues refreshing their understanding of the role.
Your arrangements
Our current Fire Warden course is 3.5 hours, with up to 8 delegates per group. It includes a brief practical assessment.
What will your team explore?
The warden's role
Work through the responsibilities you assign, how concerns are reported and how wardens fit into your wider fire safety arrangements.
Alarms and evacuation
Explore the actions in your emergency plan, communication, escape routes and assembly arrangements using relevant scenarios.
Everyday observations
Look at the things wardens may be asked to notice, such as obstructed escape routes, fire doors, signs and concerns that need reporting.
Fire equipment
Discuss extinguisher types, their limitations and the circumstances in which attempting to tackle a fire would be unsafe.
Practice and discussion
Use agreed exercises to bring the role to life. Where suitable, practical extinguisher activity can form part of the course.
More than a list of fire safety rules
We want people to think about what the role means in their own workplace. That might involve discussing an evacuation scenario, looking at familiar escape routes or working through the observations they would report during everyday checks.
We agree practical activities with you in advance. Extinguisher practice depends on suitable facilities, equipment, conditions and the agreed course scope. The quotation will make clear what is included.
This course supports the role you give your wardens. It does not replace your fire risk assessment, emergency plan, equipment maintenance or site-specific instruction.
What should we arrange?
Tell us about your buildings, work activities, shift patterns and approximate numbers. We will discuss the responsibilities you assign to wardens, the procedures you want covered and the space available for learning and practical activities.
Have your relevant fire safety arrangements available for the planning discussion. We will agree any access to practical areas and any support needed for people to take part. Please avoid sending individual medical details in your initial enquiry.
