Fire Training London open fire extinguisher courses London are in three sessions:
This will depend on the findings the fire risk assessment and fire emergency plan. If the building is high risk or there is a high turnover of staff, then fire extinguisher training should be more frequent. If the building is low risk and has small numbers of staff there may be a case for less frequent fire training.
Many of our clients train staff every 1 or 2 years.
Either call us or email us for more advise. Alternatively come on one of our open courses for more info. We will refund your open course fee if you book an in house course within three months of attending the course.
Some workplaces have this policy to minimise any risk to staff. They may take the view that the fire service will be able to respond quickly and also extinguish any fire. However, fires can spread very quickly and a small fire will quickly become a large fire. This may cause business disruption and also other problems. At Fire Training London, we believe that trained staff can recognise small types of fire and the correct type of extinguisher and can safely extinguish very small fires.
We train persons to recognise types of fire and extinguishers and also be aware of their own limitations. If a person has practised on a small controlled training fire they will have more confidence in tackling a real fire.
There is no requirement to carry out a practical fire extinguisher session but if you are able to do so it can be very beneficial for staff.
