Fire Safety Training – Level 2

Fire Safety Training – Level 2 – Online Course – CPD Accredited E-Learning Course.

Welcome to our online fire safety training course for all sectors.  All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).

This online fire safety training course is designed to provide employees with knowledge of the risks associated with workplace fires. It goes into detail about the causes of fire and what appropriate fire safety precautions and fire evacuation procedures should be in place in your business.

Knowledge on fire safety is incredibly essential, as failure to comply with government fire safety regulations could potentially lead to prosecution, fines or legal claims. Fire safety training is, therefore, compulsory for all organisations.

Who is the online fire safety training course for?

Under UK government legislation, all employees are required to take adequate fire safety training, regardless of the industry they work in. This online fire safety course provides suitable training for all levels of employees, including managers, supervisors, full-time and part-time staff. However, the information is also applicable to anyone who wishes to learn how to prevent fire in the workplace and deal with it effectively should it occur.

People in charge of fire risk assessments and fire evacuation procedures require fire warden training, as well as practical training in using firefighting equipment.

Employers are required to ensure that all new employees undergo fire safety training when they first start work and that existing employees have their training refreshed if a risk assessment identifies any new fire risks.
