Legal Requirements, Workplace Fire Marshal Training

There is a requirement for fire safety within the workplace and the legislation concerning this is controlled & contained within the the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

This document has been designed to simplify existing fire safety within the workplace and this order made it a legal requirement that all staff members in a business environment have to receive at least some form of basic fire marshal training, whether these business were large or small.

All employers have a responsibility and legal requirements to their staff to ensure that their business appoints a sufficient number of “responsible persons”. These staff members will be trained as fire wardens & marshals to assist in an emergency fire situation or evacuation within the workplace.

The number of designated fire wardens or marshals you will need to train will depend on the amount of staff within your organisation and the type of work your business offers, so “are fire marshals a legal requirement”..? and the answer is yes.

To help you meet your workplace fire marshal training legal requirements within your company, we offer either fire extinguisher training, or an online fire marshal training programme that is approved by RoSPA and also CPD certified.

Our training courses are conducted using video based instruction from within your own secure training area and are an ideal learning platform to be run along side your existing workplace fire training policies and procedures.

Training can be completed as an individual, or we can offer a company administration dashboard, so a company administrator can monitor staff members as they progress through each course.

You can complete the simple registration process and and start your required course by clicking the “Begin Training” button below, which will take you to the course registration page but you can also select the text link to be taken to the course page for additional information.

We are also able to offer an additional online fire marshal training for care homes course, which has added subjects that are relevant for the care home and social care environment.

Our online training on how to use fire extinguishers is again a very interactive course and is an ideal training solution for office staff, doctors, dental and hotel receptionists.

We also offer additional health & safety training courses, which are conducted through our online health & safety training website and are ideal e-learning courses for the workplace, that are again completed using video based instruction.

These health and safety at work courses meet many standards and can be completed at a time that is convenient to you.
