Fire Warden Training

It only takes a few minutes from the time of ignition before a fire develops to a point where it can not be controlled effectively with a fire extinguisher. Time is therefore of the essence if fire damage is to be limited and people evacuated from a premises in a safe and controlled manner.

Who will benefit?

All staff will benefit from the training, particularly new employees and managers. The course is especially useful to those with a designated responsibility i.e. nominated Fire Warden.
