Online fire safety training gives your people the knowledge to prevent fires, raise the alarm and evacuate safely — from general awareness for every employee to the full duties of a designated fire marshal. UK workplaces have a legal duty to provide fire safety instruction and training, and individuals need it to stay safe and meet their responsibilities.

This sets how many fire wardens you typically need per member of staff.
Include everyone who is usually on site across the working week.
A trained warden must be on site whenever people are — so we add cover for shifts, sickness and leave.
This is a guide: it uses common fire warden ratios and adds extra wardens to cover sickness, shift patterns and annual leave. The exact number you need should be confirmed by your workplace fire risk assessment, required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Fire safety is one of the most fundamental legal duties placed on UK businesses. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the "responsible person" — usually the employer, owner or occupier of non-domestic premises — accountable for fire safety. That includes carrying out a fire risk assessment, putting in place appropriate fire precautions, and providing employees with adequate fire safety information, instruction and training. Equivalent duties apply in Scotland under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and in Northern Ireland under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
Training is central to meeting those duties. Staff need to understand how fires start and spread, how to reduce risk in their day-to-day work, what to do when the alarm sounds, and how to evacuate safely. Premises that appoint fire wardens or fire marshals must make sure those individuals are competent for the role, and anyone who may need to tackle a small fire should know how to choose and use an extinguisher safely. Without this knowledge, even well-equipped workplaces can respond slowly or unsafely in an emergency.
The courses in this category are designed to help responsible persons, employers and individuals meet these expectations efficiently. They can be completed online at your own pace, evidence completion with a recognised certificate, and cover the practical fire safety knowledge expected in a typical UK workplace — making it straightforward to keep your team trained and your records up to date.
Fire safety training applies to virtually every UK workplace. These are some of the people and settings that rely on it most.
