Course Description

It is important to understand that fire risk assessment is not the same as a fire certificate. Every business owner and employer must:

Assess the fire risk in their workplace

Check that fires can be detected and people can be warned in enough time to leave the building safely

Check that there is a safe means for leaving the building

Provide and maintain fire fighting equipment

Instruct their employees on what to do in event of a fire

Fire Risks in your workplace

Course Objectives

Nobody knows your business better than you and your staff. You will need to look at all areas of your business in order to carry out an assessment. If you employ five or more people you will need to keep a written record of the risk assessment.

Housekeeping
