Fire safety training by Kent-based Penton Fire & Security enables businesses in South East England to provide an effective first line of defence if a fire starts in the workplace.
We show employees how to respond efficiently and confidently in the event of a fire – critical when an emergency situation can easily result in panic.
Workplace fire training – a legal requirement – can also prevent fires from breaking out in the first place.
If you own or manage a business, you have a legal responsibility to keep everyone who works in or visits your property safe from the threat of fire, as far as possible.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 stipulates that employees must have adequate fire safety training on a periodical basis.
This is to ensure staff know what to do if a fire happens and the basics of the measures in place to manage the emergency.
Penton Fire & Security training services equip workers with a sound base knowledge of fire safety awareness. This helps to lessen the likelihood of a fire on your premises.
It’s also crucial that your workers know what to do if a fire does break out, so we provide fire extinguisher training and fire marshal training.
Incorrect operation of a fire extinguisher or using the wrong type can be ineffective or make matters worse.
We’ll make sure your employees know:
Our workplace fire extinguisher training – particularly important if your business environment poses a higher risk of fire – will also ensure members of staff can locate an extinguisher quickly, giving them a better chance of preventing the spread of fire.
We’ll also teach employees how to tell whether an extinguisher is fully charged and if any damage could prevent it from working properly.
Fire blankets can be used in conjunction with extinguishers. Your staff will learn how to safely use a fire blanket to smother a fire before it gets out of control – critical is a person’s clothing catches fire.
Your fire wardens/marshals have more responsibilities in the event of a fire – implementing your fire safety procedures.
Our training helps them to remain calm to fulfil duties such as:
Our fire safety training services give fire marshals/fire wardens a deeper insight into:
