Fire Safety Training

With the busy demands of running a business, it’s easy to overlook fire safety training. However, providing your staff with the right fire safety training for employees is essential to protect your team, reduce risk, and stay legally compliant.

At 1st Choice, we deliver tailored fire safety courses, including fire safety awareness training and fire risk assessment training, to suit the needs of your business. Our experienced trainers take the time to understand your environment and recommend the most relevant fire safety course or health and safety training.

Whether you’re looking for on-site training or online fire safety training, we ensure your team gains the practical skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in an emergency.

To enable companies to manage the health and safety of their staff whilst working from home, remotely or within a hybrid arrangement, 1st Choice Safety Training & Consultancy has launched a brand new portfolio of virtual classroom training courses, including our virtual classroom fire safety course. For more information, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

We offer different levels of courses based on your company’s requirements. These can be tailored to suit your industry or particular site risks.

Fire Awareness is a short course covering the basics. It aims to equip your team with all the knowledge needed to understand: Employer & Employee responsibilities, the Fire Triangle, how to look after fuel and heat sources, what is likely to start afire and how to prevent it, different types of fire extinguishers and how to use them, what to do in the event of a fire. This course includes live fire practicals, and the course lasts around 2 hours.

Fire Marshal / Warden is slightly longer and covers everything from fire awareness to a more in depth level and also includes the duties of a fire marshal / warden in the day-to-day running of the business. They’ll also receive all the practical knowledge about undertaking efficient and orderly evacuations and understanding human behaviour in the event of a fire. Including the live fire practical, this course usually lasts around 3.5 hours.

We can either offer a certificate of attendance on completion of the courses or we can offer accredited courses through Ofqual Level 1 or 2.

At 1st Choice, all our fire safety training courses are delivered by trained Firefighters, offering real-world experience and expert knowledge to ensure your staff receive the most practical and engaging instruction possible.

We provide the option of live fire practicals, giving your team hands-on experience using fire extinguishers in realistic scenarios. This approach helps improve confidence and reinforces key fire safety techniques in a memorable way.

From fire safety training for employees to fire risk assessment training and online fire safety training, our courses are tailored to suit any business in any industry. Whether delivered on-site or online, we ensure your team is equipped to meet legal requirements and respond effectively in an emergency.
