Highfield Level 1 Award in Fire Safety

What’s It About?

This Level 1 Fire Safety Awareness course is perfect if you need training in basic fire safety techniques.  The course will give you a clear understanding of everyone’s responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

We usually include a fire extinguisher practical session during this course, so you can experience using a real fire extinguisher.

What Will You Gain?

By attending this Level 1 Fire Safety Awareness course, you will learn how to prevent fires from starting.  You will also understand what actions you should take if a fire does break out.

Should you need to tackle a small fire, you will be confident enough to do so and will be able to use fire equipment safely.

Who Should Attend?

This half-day course is designed for all employees in any size business within any industry sector.

This course is not suitable for those with fire safety responsibilities, such as fire wardens, fire marshals, managers, team leaders or supervisors. They would need to attend the Level 2 Award in Fire Safety.

Why’s It Important?

Employers have a legal obligation under fire safety legislation to provide your employees with essential knowledge about fire safety.  This knowledge will help them to prevent a fire from starting as well as what actions to take if a fire does break out.

If you don’t ensure that all employees attend fire safety awareness training as a minimum then you, your business, your employees and your customers are at risk.
