Fire Warden Training

Ensuring your workplace is compliant with UK fire safety regulations and that your staff are prepared to handle emergencies

Our Fire Warden Training service in the UK

It is mandatory by law that all UK businesses have a responsible fire warden or group of fire wardens (also sometimes referred to as a fire Marshall) to assist the rest of the staff in the event of a fire. We offer comprehensive fire warden training services designed to equip employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to prevent fires, manage evacuation procedures and ensure workplace safety. Whether at your premises or at our dedicated London training centre, our fire warden training ensures your team is prepared to handle fire emergencies with confidence and competence.

The course: what to expect from our Fire Warden Training

Our fire warden training course is an interactive and engaging session designed to make fire safety principles easy to understand and apply. The training lasts for approximately three hours and covers essential topics, including:

  • COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE AT WORK: Understanding how fires start and spread in workplace environments.
  • THE FIRE TRIANGLE: Learning the three elements required for a fire to occur and how to prevent them.
  • FIRE SAFETY SIGNAGE: Identifying and understanding the role of fire safety signs.
  • ARSON PREVENTION: Recognizing and mitigating the risks of intentional fires.
  • FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: Learning about the different types of extinguishers and their proper use.
  • EVACUATION PROCEDURES: Safely evacuating all personnel, including those with disabilities.
  • DUTIES OF A FIRE WARDEN: Understanding the legal responsibilities and actions required in an emergency.
  • FIRE AND SMOKE SPREAD: How fire and smoke behave in a building and the critical importance of containment.

The course concludes with a post-theory test to assess participants’ understanding, and an optional module on the practical use of fire extinguishers can also be included, space permitting.

MORE ABOUT Fire Warden Training

What is Fire Warden Training?

Fire warden training is a specialised course designed to equip employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to act as fire wardens or fire marshals within a workplace. The training covers basic fire safety principles, fire prevention techniques and emergency evacuation procedures. It is a legal requirement for UK businesses to appoint and train fire wardens who can manage the safe evacuation of staff in the event of a fire.

Why is Fire Warden Training important for compliance?

Fire warden training is a critical element in ensuring workplace safety and legal compliance. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all UK businesses are required to appoint a sufficient number of fire wardens to assist with fire safety measures and emergency evacuations. Regular training ensures that your team is prepared to:

  • Prevent fires by understanding risk factors and implementing safety measures.
  • Respond effectively in the event of a fire, ensuring the safe evacuation of all personnel.
  • Mitigate risks associated with fire and smoke spread.
  • Comply with fire safety regulations, reducing the risk of fines or legal repercussions.

Who needs Fire Warden Training?

Any business or organisation in the UK, regardless of size or industry, is required by law to have trained fire wardens or marshals. This includes:

  • Offices
  • Retail establishments
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Educational institutions
  • Manufacturing sites
  • Hospitality venues


If your business employs staff or operates in a public space, it is crucial to ensure that designated fire wardens are trained and equipped to manage fire safety responsibilities effectively.

How often should Fire Warden Training be done?

It is recommended that fire warden training be conducted at least every two to three years to ensure that fire safety knowledge remains up-to-date and relevant. Additionally, if there are significant changes to the workplace environment, staffing, or fire safety protocols, refresher training should be scheduled. Office Test can help you stay compliant by arranging regular training sessions tailored to your business needs.
