Why you should provide fire safety training to your staff!
Friday 6th January 2017
For businesses, this is a course of particular importance because of the legal responsibilities placed on employers under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 which came into effect in 2006.
Fire extinguishers are placed strategically throughout your workplace, but that is not enough to ensure the safety of all workers in the event of a fire? Fire safety goes far beyond having fire extinguishers. Worksites should have a complete plan in place so that workers know how to react in the event of a fire.
Fire safety training provides employees with the knowledge they need to prevent a fire from occurring as well as how to react to a fire. Fire safety training can mean the difference between life and death in the event of a fire in the workplace.
Fire Safety training can be applied in the workplace and the home. The knowledge and techniques that fire safety training provides to your employees can easily translate from the workplace to the home. The basic elements of fire prevention and fire protection that are taught in fire safety training apply to fires that can happen in a workplace or in our homes. Students can not only make their workplace safer with this training, but their homes as well.
Workplace fires, whether large or small, pose a very real threat to workers health and safety. Fire safety training provides workers with the knowledge to react confidently and safely in the event of a fire. It also teaches employees how to prevent fires from occurring, help to eliminate the hazard of a fire before one occurs. The knowledge that fire safety training provides, employees can help ensure the safety of themselves and their colleagues in the workplace.
