New Course for 2026

In any workplace, a fire drill is a familiar routine. The alarm sounds, everyone evacuates, and safety is briefly top of mind. But what happens between drills? What about the day-to-day vigilance, the understanding of hazards, and the confidence to act when seconds count?

At The Safer Food Group, we believe true fire safety goes beyond the drill. That’s why we are proud to introduce our new, comprehensive Fire Safety Awareness training course, designed to empower your entire team.

Why do my team need fire awareness training?

Fires in the workplace can start from numerous sources – faulty equipment, overloaded sockets, cooking incidents, or even stored waste. The consequences are devastating, impacting lives, livelihoods, and the very existence of a business. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) places a clear legal duty on employers (the 'Responsible Person') to ensure the safety of everyone on their premises. This isn't just about having an extinguisher; it's about a culture of prevention.

What does this course cover?

Our new training provides an introductory, awareness-level understanding that equips learners with:

• Hazard Identification: Moving beyond the obvious to spot potential fire risks in their daily environment.
• Understanding Fire Dynamics: How fires start, spread, and the crucial factors that can accelerate or contain them.
• Legal Clarity: Demystifying the RRO 2005 and outlining the roles and responsibilities of every team member, from the 'Responsible Person' to general staff.
• Practical Preparedness: Covering essential topics like fire risk assessment basics, the correct use of different types of extinguishers, and clear, effective evacuation procedures.
• Ongoing Readiness: Emphasising the importance of continuous training, drills, and maintaining a state of vigilance.

Who benefits from this training? 

Everyone. This course is a great foundation for every employee and volunteer across offices, hospitality, retail, healthcare, early years, and industrial settings. It’s for team leaders who promote safe practices and for small business owners carrying the full weight of fire precautions. When everyone understands their role, a workplace becomes significantly safer. 

This course provides the first step to getting your team prepared for fire incidents. Make sure you risk assess and follow up with formal fire marshall training and more specialised input from fire experts where needed.
