Fire Warden Training Course 10th September London

Date: 10th September 2010 Venue: 78 New Oxford Street London Time: 09.30am Cost: £99 + VAT per delegate
Course Overview:
This 1/2 day course is aimed at employees with a designated role in relation to workplace fire safety. The course builds on the understanding of the phenomenon of fire that all of us can recognise, but the majority of people fail to fully appreciate. The course material and handouts are used in conjunction with Fire Safety Employers Guide and current legislation.
Aim:
The training aims are designed to enable employees identified in your emergency plan who have a supervisory role in the event of a fire (e.g. heads of department, fire wardens or marshals and, in some large workplaces, fire fighting teams) to meet the training requirements of “Fire safety An Employer’s guide” and current legislation.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the course delegates should:
• Be aware of key fire safety duties under the law.
• Be able to recognise habitual human behaviour in a fire situation.
• Know the typical role of a fire warden in relation to workplace fire safety.
• Be able to state the basic principles of risk assessment.
• Be aware of how to prevent fire or limit its impact.
• Be able to state the common modes of building evacuation.
• Recognise the need for fire drills and pre-planning for fire.
• Recognise active and passive fire safety measures and facilities.
• Be able to identify and use a range of portable fire extinguishers.
