Session content

What the awareness session covers

Spotting hazards early
Staff learn to identify blocked exits, overloaded sockets and stored materials that could fuel a fire before it starts.
Raising the alarm
The session shows everyone where call points sit, how they work and who to alert first when smoke appears.
Getting out safely
Escape routes and assembly points are walked through so each person knows exactly where to go without hesitation.

Delivery options

Where and how the training runs

A trainer can run an onsite fire awareness course in Surrey at your own premises. This suits teams who need to see their specific escape routes and equipment during the session.

For people working from home, a remote fire safety course for staff is available over video call. The same material is covered without anyone needing to travel.

Sessions typically last between one and two hours. A half-day slot allows time for questions or splitting a larger group into smaller batches.

Groups of up to fifteen people usually sit together comfortably. Beyond that number, the trainer splits attendees so everyone can ask questions freely.

From uncertainty to clear instructions

Most workplaces start with gaps in knowledge. After a session, staff know what to do and where to go if an alarm sounds.

Before the session

Employees might not know where the nearest exit is, who raises the alarm or what to avoid doing when a fire breaks out.

After the session

Everyone has seen the routes, practised the steps and understands their role. The trainer issues a record of attendance for each person.

Questions about staff fire training

Common things employers in Epsom ask before booking a session for their team.

Cost and pricing structure
Pricing is usually set per group rather than per person. The exact figure depends on the number of attendees and whether delivery is in person or online.
Certificates and auditor acceptance
The trainer provides an attendance record after the session. Insurers and auditors generally accept this as evidence that staff received proper instruction.
How often to refresh training
Most specialists recommend repeating the session every twelve months. New starters should receive fire safety induction training in Epsom shortly after joining.
