Train your nominated fire wardens and fire marshals to lead a safe evacuation, support your fire risk assessment and use an extinguisher with confidence, as a full day with practical or a half-day refresher.
Both options train the same role and cover the same theory and law. The full day adds a hands-on extinguisher exercise; the half day is ideal as a refresher, or where live extinguisher practice is not needed.
Fire warden training, where fire marshal is simply the same role under a different name, prepares nominated staff to take charge during a fire: raising the alarm, leading a calm evacuation, checking the building and supporting the fire risk assessment. KeyOstas delivers it as a full day with an extinguisher practical, or a half-day refresher.
It is for the nominated people who take charge when the alarm sounds.
By the end of the course, every warden or marshal will be able to do the following.
Describe the role and functions of a fire warden / marshal day to day and in an emergency.
Outline the Fire Safety Order and the basics of fire risk assessment.
Identify the factors involved in a fire risk assessment and help keep it current.
Recognise fire hazards and the precautions that prevent fire starting and spreading.
Raise the alarm, direct a calm evacuation and carry out sweep checks.
Account for people at the muster point and brief the fire service.
Identify the correct extinguisher for each class of fire.
On the full-day course, safely discharge an extinguisher on a controlled fire.
The theory runs in both options; the practical extinguisher exercise is added on the full day.
