INTRODUCTION

The risk of fire and the resulting threat to human life and continuity of operations is an ever present danger to organizations of every size.

So are your organization’s building, premises and facilities compliant with current fire safety laws by all employees understanding what is required of them? Do your employees know what fire precautions they should take? Do they know what to do on discovering a fire? Do they know what to do in the event of an emergency and how to evacuate your building, premises or facility safely?

If you answered ‘no’ to any of the above then your organization may be in breach of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and could be prosecuted or fined or served a notice or be exposed to significant legal claims. The provision of training is not a matter of choice or optional, it is an absolute legal requirement for your organization.
