Fire Safety Training

Fire safety training is very important and should be taken regularly to ensure that your knowledge is fresh and up to date. For this reason, we recommend that you complete fire safety training every three years.

This also applies to fire marshals, who should complete a fire marshal refresher course, or obtain a new fire warden certificate, every three years.

There are no fixed definitions given to the fire marshal and fire warden roles, so their duties can vary significantly between organisations.

Generally speaking, fire wardens in the workplace will be responsible for clearing a building in the event of a fire, completing head counts at the fire assembly point, and ensuring that nobody reenters the building. In contrast, fire marshals are usually responsible for identifying fire hazards in a workplace, completing fire risk assessments, and coordinating fire wardens during a fire.

Our fire warden training is suitable for anyone looking to become a fire marshal or a fire warden.

Our fire safety and fire marshal courses take 55 minutes and 80 minutes to complete respectively.

You can complete our fire safety and fire marshal training online, making it better value and more convenient than other fire marshal training courses. To find out more about the benefits of online training, and the features we offer at Commodious, click here.

No, there is no need to complete an online fire extinguisher training course, or anything similar alongside your fire safety course. This is because our fire safety and fire marshal training courses already contain all you need to know about the different kinds of fire extinguisher, and how to use them.
