Fire Safety Awareness
½ Day Training Course
Qualification
FAA Level 1 Award in Fire Safety Awareness (Level 5 Award in Scotland)
This course is designed for all employees as an introduction to basic fire safety awareness and is an excellent ingredient in the induction programme of new employees. The qualification also provides a foundation to those employees who want to develop their fire safety awareness.
You will, no doubt, be well aware of the potentially devastating effects of fires in the workplace in terms of lives lost, injuries, damage to property and the environment, and to the business continuity. You may also be aware that it is believed that most fires are preventable. The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training. Successful candidates will be awarded a national level 1 qualification (Level 4 in Scotland).
