As a minimum, employees need fire safety training during induction and should have a refresher at least once a year. This ensures they remain familiar with your fire safety arrangements.
If you have a high staff turnover, or there’s a higher than normal risk of fire, or employees are responsible for the safety of visitors or vulnerable people, you should arrange more frequent training.
Our courses can be delivered at your premises or chosen venue. As an alternative, we also offer online courses. Certification will be provided on completion of the course.
To find out more about our training, contact Environtec’s Fire Department today on 01245 381900.
