As a leading provider of workplace safety training, our train the trainer courses are designed with businesses and their workers in mind. As a result, we offer a long list of training courses to ensure employees can gain the knowledge and skills they need to reduce risk, fulfil legal requirements, satisfy their moral obligations, and reap several rewards.

Our Fire Marshal Train the Trainer course is particularly popular, but why is fire marshal training so important in the modern day workplace?

Prevent fire and protect workers

The first and most obvious benefit of having a trained fire marshal within your business to provide training and support to the wider workforce is their role in the prevention of fire.

As part of our Fire Marshal Train the Trainer, instructors will become well versed in fire safety awareness. Fire alarms, use and maintenance of firefighting equipment, evacuation procedures, liaising with the fire brigade, fire drills, re-entry into the building, and other special duties are all covered in our syllabus.

Understand the latest legislation

The trained fire marshals we make possible benefit employers too. With a good understanding of fire legislation, your fire marshal will be able to help you understand the latest government rules and regulations that affect your workplace.

Mitigate the cost of fire

Both residential and non-residential fires cause devastating results. From a business standpoint, the financial cost of fire can be significant, with the Chief Fire Officers’ Association reporting that approximately 60% of the private businesses affected by fire never recover.

In addition to footing the bill for internal and external damage, the cost of staff absence, the recruitment of temporary staff, and equipment and document damage can be difficult to overcome.

With fire marshal training, your employees can develop the understanding and experience required to minimise the risk of fire and the associated financial costs.

Stay calm and collected in the event of a fire

If a fire was to occur, your fire marshals will be able to guide people to safety in an organised and competent manner with the right training. This means evacuation can take place as efficiently and effectively as possible to make room for the fire brigade to tackle the fire quickly.

To unlock the benefits mentioned above and more within your workplace, explore our Fire Marshal Train the Trainer and ensure your employees can be trained to become competent fire marshals or wardens.
