Unnecessary course for me

As I have said previously after completing this course, this is not relevant to my job. I check the classroom and toilet area in the event of the fire alarm being activated. We don’t have fire extinguishers in our school and I don’t check the fire alarm or advise other staff and visitors of the procedure to be followed in the event of a fire. It took 2 and 3/4 hours to complete this course and in my opinion my time could have been much better spent, especially as I have already completed the more basic fire training which is more relevant and suitable for my level of responsibility.

interesting course

Very good course. Easy to follow and understand

Good level of detail and well presented

Well presented and easy to follow. Good level of detail. Like the summary slide at the end of each section as a reminder of key points.

clear and concise instructions

No mention of use of sand on fires. Is this no longer considered safe and why? Some more instruction on what to do if you are uncertain of what type of fire you encounter. There is an assumption in this training that you will know exactly what materials or what has caused the fire and will be able to chose the correct extinguisher. There are going to be fires you don't know what materials are burning for example in a staffroom if a sofa was alight. Is this combustible material or should you assume the material is a combination of metal and foam? Another example: If the fire is in a kitchen on a counter top and the counter top is wood but the fire is from a pan with oil alight on the cooker and a kettle (electrical) has also caught alight – which extinguisher should you use as its a combination of materials on fire.

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

It is a legal requirement that your establishment appoints a Fire Warden (or ‘Fire Marshal’). The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 clearly states that a competent person with the appropriate skills, knowledge and training should be present and capable of following the correct emergency procedures should they become necessary.

The responsible person (property owner, company director etc) must, where necessary, nominate competent persons to implement those measures and ensure that the number of such persons, their training and the equipment available to them are adequate, taking into account the size of, and the specific hazards involved in, the premises concerned…
