Our 3-hour Fire Warden / Marshal course delivers the necessary information and practical training to ensure your fire wardens have the knowledge and skills to undertake their roles and responsibilities within your organisation.
Who Is The Course For?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that the “responsible person” for fire safety in premises must appoint one or more competent individuals to help them implement fire prevention and protection measures, often fulfilled by Fire Wardens.
We can accommodate up to 15 delegates on the course. In addition to dedicated Fire Wardens, you may also wish to send other staff members to enhance their knowledge of fire safety.
Our Fire Warden course meets the requirements of the Fire Safety Order concerning your legal duties to train ‘competent individuals’.
