Having a designated fire warden at work is an important part of fire safety. The fire warden works together with the employer to ensure that fire safety measures and evacuation procedures are in place and effective.
This course is suitable for anyone who will be taking on the role of a fire warden in their workplace and has a duty to take charge and guide others to safety in the case of a fire. This course equips you with the knowledge required to assist the responsible person in maintaining fire safety and effectively managing an evacuation. Through this training, you’ll learn how fires can start and the dangers they pose, fire prevention and control measures, fire extinguishers and their appropriate use, and evacuation procedures, gaining a clear understanding of your duties as a fire warden.
In addition to training specifically for Fire Wardens, this course also covers everything you will learn in our Fire Safety Awareness course. There is no need for Fire Wardens to take both courses.

Why take this course?
Fires devastate businesses of all sizes across Britain every year. They cause damage to property, injure employees through smoke inhalation and burns and, in worst-case scenarios, can lead to fatalities. As a designated fire warden, you have a critical role to play in supporting fire safety in your workplace.
This Fire Warden Training course is suitable for anyone who will be taking on the role of fire warden with no previous knowledge required. It offers an overview of fire safety in the workplace, including the causes of fire, risk assessments, fire prevention measures and, most importantly, the key duties of fire wardens. By taking this course, you will gain the necessary knowledge to help prevent fires, ensure safe evacuation during emergencies and protect your workplace from the potentially devastating consequences of fire.
Module 1: Roles and Responsibilities
This module outlines your responsibilities as a fire warden and the actions you must take to ensure the safety of yourself and others during an emergency. It sets the context for fire safety in the workplace and details the responsibilities of others, such as the responsible persons and local authorities.
Module 2: Understanding Fire
This module equips you with an understanding of the causes of fire through the fire triangle. It provides you with the key knowledge required to fulfil your role effectively, including the six classes of fire and the safe use of dangerous substances.
Module 3: Fire Risk Assessments
This module discusses the importance of effective risk assessments in the workplace. It covers the steps a competent person will follow to complete a fire risk assessment in line with the hierarchy of fire protection and how you may be asked to assist as a fire warden.
Module 4: Fire Safety Arrangements
This module outlines the fire safety arrangements that should be present in your workplace and your role in maintaining a safe environment. It covers such arrangements as fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting and signage and fire extinguishing methods.
Module 5: Emergency Procedures
This module explains how to respond to a fire emergency in your workplace. It outlines the importance of clear emergency plans and evacuation procedures and how people’s behaviour could impact a successful evacuation.
After completing the modules, you will be invited to take the course assessment. This is made up of 20 questions and will test the knowledge you have gained from your training. The questions are multiple choice and are marked automatically, so you will instantly know whether you have passed. The pass mark for the assessment is 80% and you can take it as many times as you need to with no extra charge.
This Fire Warden Training course is suitable for anyone who will be taking on the role of fire warden in their workplace. Anyone at any level can take it and no previous knowledge is required - it covers the basics of fire safety and then goes into more detail about the specific fire safety responsibilities of fire wardens. It will educate you about what your duties are and how to fulfil them.
Be aware that fire wardens should also receive practical training in the use of fire extinguishers to supplement this training course.
