Fire Awareness Course: Essential Training for Workplace Safety

In the UK, fire safety is not just good practice—it's a legal obligation.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places clear responsibilities on employers and those in control of premises to ensure the safety of all occupants from fire.

A foundational understanding of fire safety is crucial for every individual in the workplace, making our Fire Awareness Course an indispensable training solution.

Our courses are expertly delivered and can be tailored to meet your specific business.
