Description

CPD Accredited | Approx. 90 mins | Self-study online

A Fire Warden plays an important part in an organisation’s fire safety procedures. Organisations usually appoint one or more people in each office, shift pattern, or area to ensure coverage across operational hours. A Fire Warden will work with the employer to ensure effective fire evacuation procedures and contribute to the fire prevention strategy.

Our course provides practical advice on fire prevention and action upon discovery of a fire, including an introduction to fire extinguishers. In addition to the content covered in our Fire Safety Awareness course, this course includes additional content specific to people designated as Fire Wardens or Fire Marshals.
