This comprehensive online Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course is appropriate for those with or without previous Fire Safety training.  This course is an awareness course and as such is not designed to meet statutory fire certification requirements.

The Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, college or other educational programme.

COURSE DURATION.

The estimated duration of the Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.

COURSE ACCESS.

Learners receive 90 days access to the Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure.  Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish and as a result provides a more economical training option for businesses small and large.

Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.

Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.

WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005, all employees need a certain level of fire training and information. As a minimum, new starters need a basic induction which covers the alarm system, emergency procedures, and means of escape from the building.

Staff also need to know what type of fire fighting equipment they have on the premises and the safety considerations of their use.

COURSE CONTENT.

The Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam:

UNIT 1 – HAZARDS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH A FIRE.
UNIT 2 – CONTROLLING THE RISK OF FIRE.
UNIT 3 – FIRE SAFETY MANAGEMENT.
UNIT 4 – THE FIRE WARDEN.

Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress.  At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.

The use of clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework which allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course.  Each section of the course is marked with a green check following completion, which allows learners to leave and then easily recommence training.

By the end of the Fire Safety in the Workplace Awareness course, learners should understand.
