Level 2 Award In Fire Safety

You will, no doubt, be well aware of the potentially devastating effects of fires in the workplace in terms of lives lost, injuries, damage to property and the environment, and to business continuity. You may also be aware that it is believed that most fires are preventable. The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training. 

This Fire Safety Training Course is designed for employees who want to develop their basic fire safety awareness in order to assist their employer by undertaking more specific fire safety roles in the workplace to manage fire risk (e.g. as fire wardens/marshals/stewards etc.) Successful candidates will be awarded a national level 2 qualification (Level 5 in Scotland). 

Syllabus

This course is run over 1 day and includes the following subjects:

• The hazards and risks associated with fire in the workplace
• How fire risk is controlled in the workplace
• The role of the nominated fire warden
• The principles and practice of fire safety management at work

The qualification does not have an expiry date but refresher training and keeping up to date with changes to policies, procedures and new legislation through ongoing CPD is vital.  

A Level 2 national qualification, (Level 5 in Scotland), will be issued to the learner, subject to successfully completing the test paper. 

Assessment is on-going by the instructor, culminating with a multiple choice question paper. 

A maximum of 16 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment.

A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role
