FIRE SAFETY TRAINING
Fire Safety Training For Businesses & Organisations
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 it is a legal requirement that all employers / responsible persons ensure that all employees are provided with adequate fire safety training. There is no difference between Marshal & Warden, both are frequently used to describe the same role they undertake, it’s the same meaning, different word. You should have a fire warden in your workplace for every 50 people. Other spaces may be found to be at a much higher risk of a fire. In such a case, you may require one warden for every 15 to 20 people but review your FRA to help determine the quantity required.

Fire Safety Training Overview
Fire safety is a fundamental part of any business and training is the cornerstone of implementing any fire safety policy. Legislation via the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires employers to provide training for all employees in actions to be taken in the event of a fire. This training can range from basic fire safety awareness, to the practical use of fire extinguishers and the management of a fire situation with Fire Warden Training. This course is aimed at all staff within an organisation.
Fire Warden Training
This course is for up to 15 people per session and will be delivered in approximately 3 hours. It will give your staff an understanding of fire legislation along with the specific duties of a Fire Warden, greater awareness of the hazards presented by a fire, and increase their knowledge in practical fire safety measures.

Wired Vs Wireless Commercial Fire Alarms
There is a lot to consider when choosing between wired and wireless fire alarm systems for commercial premises. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the key differences, trade-offs, and suitability considerations.
Fire Alarm Systems & Monitoring Within Care Homes
Fire alarm monitoring for care homes must be compliant with EN 54 and BS 5839 standards, requiring the system to be automatically linked to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to alert the fire brigade immediately upon activation. This provides a faster response than a manual call, which is crucial for residents who may be unable to self-evacuate. Both wired and wireless systems can meet these requirements, but wireless systems offer easier installation in occupied buildings.
Fire & Security System Considerations For The Commercial & Manufacturing Sector
The manufacturing sector faces a range of complex challenges that impact safety, security, and operations. Many facilities handle hazardous materials and rely on heat-generating machinery, creating a heightened risk of fire and other industrial accidents. Continuous 24/7 operations and rotating shift patterns further complicate workforce management and emergency preparedness.
