Why Fire Safety Training Is Important

There is many roles you need to cover as an employer. You’re a sales representative an accountant and many more. You are also in charge of the employees health and safety while at work.

It’s easy to remember the usual training you need to provide like Forklift Truck Training and First Aid etc, but what about Fire Safety Training!

Why Do We Need Fire Safety Training?

In 2018/19 there were 36,283 dwelling fires in the UK, according to Home Office statistics. Apparently this is the lowest figure on record according to the Morgan Clark blog. This is still a staggering amount!

Fires can easily be stopped from escalating by acting quick and putting them out while they are small. By putting a selection of employees through fire safety training, they will have the correct knowledge to fully understand which extinguisher to use on what type of fire. This would stop the fire dead in its tracks.

This can save a company thousands of pounds and many hours of production down time. So by providing you employees with Fire Marshal Training it is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
