Four ways in which fire training benefits your business

Every company should prepare for worst-case scenarios, but many employees up and down the country, however, are not adequately trained for the situation where a fire occurs at their place of work. Even in cases where a fire risk assessment has been conducted, essential fire training is often not completed, or the training incomplete.

To remind us all why fire training is so important, here are the top points to be aware of;

Value-added to an employee's skill set: When fire training is given to your employees, they are not only receiving vital information of what to do in the event of a fire, but you’re also making them feel a valued team member who has an important role to play in the business.

Improved Fire Risk Assessment: It is crucial that companies regularly conduct a frank Fire Risk Assessment, together with quality fire training, and by doing so you are also continually improving the quality and rating of your company’s fire risk assessments. These measures will reduce the likelihood of a fire occurring, and in the unfortunate event of one, will minimise the impact that a fire could have on your business.

Assured safety: Individuals who use your premises will be reassured to know that the business has given good quality and regular fire trainingand fire risk assessments - It will reflect well on the business and reassure staff and visitors that you the business is responsible and takes matters concerning safety very seriously.

Safeguarding your team: This point is a fairly obvious one, but by giving your team frequent fire training, individuals will subsequently know what to do in the event of a fire, which will undoubtedly increase the chances of a good outcome, should a fire happen to occur.
