Is Fire Training a Legal Requirement?

The answer to this question is Yes!

The Regulatory Reform (Fire safety) Order (RRO) states, in 21 – 1.  The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training!

Many of our customers have asked us how do they know how many staff should be trained in their company?

The answer to this is by carrying out a Fire Risk Assessment.

Since the 1st October 2006 the law has required every company to carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment and if you have 5 or more employees the Assessment must be recorded.

By carrying out a Fire Risk Assessment the Assessor will be able to look at all aspects of fire safety within your premises.

The Assessor will then look at your emergency plan and decide how many people need training and at what level. e.g.

1. Fire Awareness Training
2. Fire Warden/Marshall Training
3. Fire Safety Training for Managers

The Fire Training Academy will be available to assist you if required or even send one of our fire safety experts to carry out the Fire Risk Assessments for you should you require it!
