About Our Fire Safety Awareness Course
This course is designed to meet the legal requirements for fire safety in the workplace. It is suitable for all members of staff. Our Fire Safety trainers all have years of service with different fire services and will bring this firsthand experience to your staff.
The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training. We will provide this training and show that most fires in the workplace are preventable.
Each participant receives a certificate to prove their qualification and attendance after successfully completing the course and a reference book to refresh knowledge both during and after the course.
This course can either be taken as a 1st Choice certificate of attendance or as an OfQual Level 1 in Fire Safety Awareness.

Other Information
- Certificate Renewal:
Certification should be renewed at least every 3 years ( or as directed by your insurers). We will provide a polite reminder prior to your staff needing re-training to keep your company compliant. We recommend utlising Fire Drills and staff training to refresh your staff skills. - Max Delegates:
Our maximum is usually 16 but larger groups can be accommodated if required. Please advise us should you have a larger group.
We have employed the services of 1st Choice Safety Training & Consultancy for around 8 years to carry out the Fire Training to all of our staff.
They provided 3 levels of training, Fire Awareness for all staff, Fire Marshal for those tasked with this role and Incident Leader training for our Senior Managers to administer a real situation. All with live fire practical training.
Feedback has always been brilliant, our staff love the fact that our training will be provided by experienced Firefighters meaning our staff can learn from their vast experiences.
We have also utilised 1st Choice for site Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Door Inspections and have helped to implement new fire strategies and plans.
We’d always recommend 1st Choice for your fire training & services and look forward to working with them going forward.
