Statutory training on the nature and causes of fire in healthcare facilities, with instruction in fire prevention, signage and equipment, and what to do when a fire starts
A standardised, endorsed, national core curriculum means cost effective training with minimised retraining as people move between organisations. Fire Safety Legislation places fire safety responsibilities on employers and employees. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure they have regard for the safety of themselves and their colleagues, patients, and visitors. Continued diligence is required to ensure everyone knows what to do to prevent fires and if a fire does break out.
The course is not intended to replace the fire safety training delivered by a competent person.
