The Fire Warden Training Course provides participants with a comprehensive knowledge of their duties and actions to be followed during a fire.

There is a legal requirement on employers to prepare an Emergency Plan that outlines how the workplace will be evacuated in the event of a fire outbreak. Fire Wardens are designated the responsibilities in running a fire drill effectively and safely. It also details the steps involved in developing an Emergency Plan for the workplace, in the event that one does not currently exist.
