Your fire safety measures are only as effective as the people responsible for implementing them. Delivered on-site by ex-brigade professionals who have seen what happens when training fails.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that employees receive adequate fire safety training. This includes training at the point of induction, when roles or responsibilities change, and at regular intervals thereafter.
Fire safety training is not a compliance exercise. It is the difference between an orderly evacuation and a panic. Staff who understand fire behaviour, know their escape routes, and have practised their responsibilities will respond effectively when it matters.
R&W delivers all training on-site at your premises. Every session is tailored to your building, your fire safety arrangements, and your evacuation procedures. This is not generic classroom theory delivered by someone who has never attended a fire.
Practical half-day session covering fire behaviour, evacuation procedures, extinguisher use, and staff responsibilities under the RRO 2005. Up to 15 attendees per session.
Comprehensive training for nominated fire wardens covering duties during an emergency, floor sweep procedures, assembly point management, and liaison with the fire and rescue service.
There is no fixed legal interval, but best practice is to deliver fire safety awareness training annually for all staff, with additional sessions for new starters and whenever there is a significant change to the premises or procedures.
Fire safety awareness covers the basics that all staff need: understanding fire, evacuation procedures, and individual responsibilities. Fire warden training is an additional course for nominated wardens covering leadership during an evacuation, sweep procedures, and coordination with emergency services.
There is no fixed legal ratio, but a common guideline is one warden per floor or per 50 occupants, with additional cover to account for absences, shift patterns, and holidays. Your fire risk assessment should specify the number required.
Yes. All attendees receive a certificate of attendance on completion. Fire wardens receive a separate certified completion document. Records can be provided in digital format for your compliance files.
