Fire Safety for Managers
Course Description
Reflecting the needs of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, this course provides delegates with the information to develop a Fire Risk Assessment and Emergency Plan to help create a strong Fire Strategy in their workplace.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for senior members of Site Management Teams or Building Managers, namely persons that are likely to be nominated as the ‘Responsible Person’ or potentially deputise for the ‘Responsible Person’ and those who have been nominated by their employer as either the ‘Responsible Person’ or the ‘Competent Person’ and hence who will be responsible for carrying out Fire Risk Assessments at their premises or on Construction Sites. Ideally candidates should be aware of their own company Fire Risk Assessment Process.
