At FireRite we have always offered a range of fire safety training in different formats. We’ve offered a range of standard training packages as well as bespoke and tailored training to meet your specific needs. The way that we approach training delivery needs to adapt and change as the world moves into ‘the new normal’.
The requirements and legislation relating to fire safety for businesses have not gone away or been relaxed during the lockdown. Fire safety training is a legal requirement in England & Wales. It is still your responsibility to ensure that you’re meeting legislative guidelines relating to fire safety training.
The impact of COVID-19 and social distancing measures has already forced almost all businesses to change the way they operate. However, there is still a significant demand for fire safety training, so here at FireRite, we have also adapted the way we offer training sessions.
As more businesses, shops and other venues have been preparing for re-opening after lockdown, many workers have been frantically re-arranging workplaces, moving furniture, fixtures, and fittings to allow for a safer, socially distant way of working.
It is also likely that you’ve had quite a few staff changes during lockdown, so there’s never been a better time to arrange fire safety training for your staff as they adapt to their new working environment.
Safety is at the front of everyone’s mind, so it is reassuring for your staff to know that you’re taking all aspects of their workplace safety seriously.
We have been paying close attention to the ever-changing Government guidelines relating to social distancing and reducing the spread of Coronavirus when planning our training sessions.
Trainers and participants will adhere to the 2-metre distancing rule throughout the course, which may mean that training sessions have fewer participants due to the size of the room and space available. This may be reduced when public health advice says that it is safe to do so.
As most of our training sessions take place indoors, you may be asked to wear PPE such as a fabric mask, even if you do not have any symptoms. Again, this may change according to advice from the Government and public health officials.
We will also provide hand sanitizer, soap, and disinfectant wipes for all participants to use as required.
Here’s an example of a typical fire safety awareness training session that we offer.
