Staff Fire Safety Training Course Barnstaple – Expert Instruction by Fireline UK
Professional Fire Safety Training for Barnstaple Businesses
At Fireline UK, we provide comprehensive staff fire safety training courses throughout Barnstaple and North Devon. Our expert instructors deliver engaging, practical training that ensures your employees understand their responsibilities and know exactly how to respond in a fire emergency.
Why Staff Fire Safety Training Is Essential
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes it a legal requirement for employers to provide adequate fire safety training to all staff. This training must be:
- Provided when employees first start work
- Repeated periodically (typically annually)
- Updated when risks change or new equipment is introduced
- Delivered during working hours
- Suitable and sufficient to safeguard employees and others on the premises
Beyond legal compliance, proper fire safety education creates a safer workplace, reduces the risk of fire incidents, and ensures a coordinated response should an emergency occur.
