Fire training in the UK

Extinguish Fire Solutions offers a range of training options for employers to ensure that employees understand fire prevention and are familiar with fire regulations.

According to the Home Office published 'Fire Safety: An Employer's Guide', training should be conducted at least once a year and include practical demonstrations.

Consistent with this advice, we recommend that key, nominated members of staff are trained to fire marshal level and in use of fire fighting equipment. Ideally when deciding on who to nominate, select members of staff who are assertive, permanently based on site and likely to stay with the organisation for sufficient length of time.

Our fire training provides customers with a sound knowledge of effective fire safety practises. Our training courses will:

• Ensure staff can evacuate safely in an emergency, and assist the escape of customers, visotors, patients or pupils
• Raise awareness of fire prevention
• Demonstrate your responsibility towards the well-being of employees
• Help you comply with fire regulations

Fire risk assessments

Extinguish Fire Solutions provides the total fire risk assessment solution.

With a national network of consultants, we are able to offer a comprehensive and consistent risk management service.

We view risk assessments as a partnership. Where appropriate, we will look to work with employers and employees alike to minimise the risks and ensure staff know what to do in the event of a fire.

Our consultants are all ex-senior ranking Fire Officers and graduate members of Fire Engineers, many with over 25 years fire safety experience. This experience is invaluable when making recommendations that concur with those of the enforcing Fire Brigade and current legislation.

Once a building's fire risk assessment is complete, the customer will be provided with an easy to understand, personally tailored report. This will form the basis of an employer's on-going fire safety procedures and demonstrate compliance with the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 (as amended 1999).

The Fire Risk Assessment is always fully documented and carries with it ample professional indemnity.
