What Are The Recommended Training Requirements
Today's law stipulates that it is no longer the duty of the Fire Service to make sure the workplace is safe. The duty now lies with 'the responsible person'. This person will ultimately be held accountable. Fire certificates issued under previous legislation are now invalid.
The responsible person/s must nominate competent persons to implement the measures for fire-fighting in the premises. The competent persons must be suitably trained, they must have the adequate equipment available to them and the number of competent persons must be adequate for the premises and hazards associated with them. Competent persons need to have sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities to enable them to properly implement the measures identified for fire safety.
Examples of courses that will provide sufficiant knowledge for the above are:
- Fire Risk Assessment
- Assessing and Managing Fire Safety
- Fire Marshal
- Fire Safety Awareness
- Fire Extinguisher

How often should I/we attend training?
This is left to the person responsible and what they believe to be suitable.
