Helping Companies Tackle Fire Safety Training

Building on its reputation as a leading provider of Health & Safety training, Safesite has introduced two new fire training courses, enabling it to provide clients with a comprehensive range of fire safety training. Safesite’s new 1 day Introduction to Fire Risk Assessments provides managers and those responsible for health and safety with the knowledge and understanding to be able to manage the fire risk assessment process in their premises. The more in-depth 2 day Fire Safety Risk Assessment course provides a comprehensive look at the concept of Fire Risk Assessment and focuses on the preventative and protective fire safety measures that will help to effectively reduce the level of fire risk in offices, small retail and similar premises. With the introduction of these new Fire Risk Assessment courses, Safesite can now provide companies with a full range of courses designed for different levels of responsibility. For example, the Fire Safety Training is designed for all personnel while the Fire Warden and Fire Safety Manager courses provide detailed information for nominated fire wardens and managers respectively. Safesite’s range of health and safety training courses such as asbestos, DDA, COSHH, manual handling and working at height are designed to provide companies with an in-depth understanding of legal duties when it comes to specific health and safety matters. All courses are run by experienced safety practitioners who are also City & Guilds qualified to teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector.
