Let’s get into the key essentials of fire safety training that we cover for every organisation…
1. Introduction and Course Overview
Every fire safety training session delivered by Absolute Health Fire Safety begins with an introduction that outlines exactly what will be covered across the next few hours of training. You’ll meet our experienced team, have the opportunity to ask any questions, and learn more about the structure of the entire course we’ll deliver. This is a great starting point which ensures all staff, employees, and team members understand the clear objectives of the session.
2. Understanding Fire and Fire Risks
Next, we get right into understanding fire and the different types of fire risk. This is an integral part of the session and all participants will see the different types of fire and how they behave.
This knowledge is crucial for recognising potential dangers before they escalate.
Our sessions cover:
• How fires can start and spread
• Various fire classes and their specific hazards
• Common fire risks in workplaces
3. Fire Risk Assessments
As you would expect, fire risk assessments are at the centre of comprehensive fire safety training. Participants of training will learn the purpose of a fire risk assessment, what it involves, the type of fire safety hazards to keep an eye out for, and much more. This section of the course is tailored to your workplace so it is practical and directly applicable.
We’ll also cover our key five-step process of an effective fire risk assessment which involves:
- Identifying fire hazards
- Identifying people at risk
- Evaluating, removing and protecting
- Recording, planning, informing and training
- Reviewing fire risk assessment annually
4. Evacuation Procedures and Emergency Plans
The next part of a typical fire safety training session should cover evacuation procedures and emergency plans.
Understanding your evacuation routes and emergency procedures is absolutely essential, and Absolute Health Fire Safety ensures that we cover this in full detail, especially for the appointed ”Responsible Person” or Fire Warden.
We walk through:
• Hands-on scenarios and discussions
• Identifying and using escape routes safely
• Coordinating evacuations efficiently
• Roles and responsibilities during emergencies
5. Fire Warden Training (Optional)
If your business in Yorkshire has designated fire wardens, Absolute Health Fire Safety can provide additional and specialist fire warden training that goes deeper into the key responsibilities of a fire warden.
This ensures that key staff members are fully prepared to take charge during an emergency.
Key points that are covered include:
- Leading safe evacuations
- Operating fire safety equipment
- Reporting hazards and incidents
6. Certification Upon Completion
Upon completing the course, every participant will receive an accredited certificate of completion, valid for the recommended refresher period. This helps ensure your business stays compliant with current fire safety regulations.
Beyond meeting legal requirements, certification also demonstrates that your staff are better prepared, more confident, and fully equipped to recognise and respond to fire safety risks in the workplace.
Why Fire Safety Training Matters
Fire safety training is much more than a tick-box exercise for compliance; it gives people the knowledge to save lives.
By investing in high-quality and comprehensive fire safety training, you ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 whilst also creating a safer, more confident workplace. At Absolute Health Fire Safety, we’ve been delivering training across Yorkshire for over 20 years, helping businesses of all sizes and sectors stay prepared and compliant.
