About this course
There are five different classes of fire, each identified by a letter; these are A, B, C, D, and F.rnrnIt’s vital that people know what to do before tackling a fire, which should be included in your fire response plan. After the fire alarm has been raised and the risks have been assessed with tackling the fire, employees then need to work by the ONE FIRE, ONE EXTINGUISHER rule – if they think it’ll take more than one extinguisher to put out the fire, it’s too big to tackle and they need to evacuate immediately.rnrnThis Fire Extinguisher Training will ensure that if staff find a fire to be small enough to tackle with one fire extinguisher, they know what kind of fire extinguisher should be used for each fire, what class of fire it is, and the safety measure to take when using an extinguisher.rnrnEvery member of staff legally requires some kind of Fire Awareness Training which is why alongside our fire extinguisher course, we also offer Fire Awareness Training and Fire Warden Training. We also provide an array of Fire Safety training courses to improve your employee’s fire safety knowledge.rn

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005 states that “in order to safeguard the safety of relevant persons, the responsible person must ensure that”:
(a)the premises are, to the extent that it is appropriate, equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment and with fire detectors and alarms; andrn(b)any non-automatic fire-fighting equipment so provided is easily accessible, simple to use and indicated by signs.
Equipment will include the use of fire extinguishers. Fire and Health and Safety legislation also requires employers to provide fire training for all staff by law. It’s good practice for employers to train staff at least every 12 months.
