We can carry out fire risk assessments, and fire safety training in Essex and the surrounding area.
Fire risk assessments
By law, employers (and/or building owners or occupiers) must carry out a fire risk assessment—and keep it up to date. This shares the same approach as health and safety risk assessments and can be carried out either as part of an overall risk assessment or as a separate exercise.
East Saxon Training can assist you with your fire risk assessment.
Fire prevention steps
Based on the findings of the assessment, employers need to ensure that adequate and appropriate fire safety measures are in place to minimise the risk of injury or loss of life in the event of a fire.
To help prevent fire in the workplace, your risk assessment should identify what could cause a fire, how it might grow, and who could be put at serious risk from such an event.
Fire safety training
Once you have identified the risks, you can take appropriate action to control them. Consider whether you can avoid them altogether or, if this is not possible, how you can reduce the risks and manage them. Also consider how you will protect people if there is a fire. The law requires that you ensure your workers receive appropriate training, something East Saxon Training can provide.
The challenges faced by you and your team are unique. That is why East Saxon Training offers flexibility with all its courses, so that our training is best configured to your business's needs. A fire safety course from EST can cover a range of topics and workplaces, such as:
Training for Fire Wardens and Fire Marshalls
How to carry out a fire safety risk assessment and/or audit
Learn how to keep sources of ignition and flammable substances apart when storing goods
How to avoid accidental fires by introducing good 'housekeeping' policies at work; a build up of rubbish could turn into fuel in the event of a fire
Consider how to detect fires and how to warn people quickly if they start, by using smoke/fire alarms or fire bells
Learn about the correct fire-fighting equipment for putting out different types of fires safely and effectively
Keeping fire exits and escape routes clearly marked and unobstructed at all times
How to run fire drills that encompass all members of staff, no matter the size or location of the workplace
Review and update your risk assessment regularly
"David is an excellent and professional trainer. David spoke from experience and managed to keep the Team engaged the entire day despite the amount of information that he was delivering and the size of the group. He also managed to keep the training interactive and to get each member of staff involved in the training. I would definitely recommend David for all future training requirements"
