Fire Marshal/Warden Presentation

Here at Firehouse (Scotland) we are able to provide bespoke training courses at the clients premises or our own venues in Scotland if required and can include hands on use of fire extinguishers on live controlled fires using our specifically designed fire training rigs, as well as covering movement through smoke conditions. Training is certificated and is delivered by an experienced approved trainer, at very competitive prices.

 

For clients not having adequate facilities, staff may be accomodated at one of our regional fire training venues at which free tea & coffee is provided for thehalf day courses, course class sizes are limited to a maximum of 10 persons.

 

Fire Warden Course Content:

  • Digest of Fire Legislation applicable in Scotland
  • Principles of Fire risk assessement
  • Human behaviour
  • The principles of moving through smoke
  • The fire triangle
  • Selection and practical use of  fire extinguishers
  • Recognising fire hazards
  • Fire safety awareness
  • Evacuation procedures
  • Practical exercise using extinguishers onto a fire rig.

Persons responsible in Scotland should make adequate provision for delivering comprehensive and relevant information and training for staff commesurate to their responsibility within the organisation.

 

Areas of consideration:

 

(a) Appropriate procedures to be taken in the event of an emergency

(b) Competent persons to secure evacuation

 

In the event of a fire within any premises someone must be available to co-ordinate and conduct evacuation procedures and the summoning of the Fire & Rescue Service. It would be unreasonable to expect evacuation to be performed on an ad hoc basis, it is expected that all but the smallest of premises will conduct this activity through a nominated Fire Marshal or Fire Warden who should expect training beyond general awareness training given to all staff, so as to undertake their duties competently. The Fire Marshal or Fire Warden duty is normally undertaken by experienced or supervisory staff who may also have a Health and Safety background although this is not a pre-requisite to the post.

Practical Fire Safety Guidance For Existing Premises with Sleeping Accommodation

In 2006, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’) introduced changes to fire safety law in Scotland and repealed previous fire safety legislation. This guide has been produced to assist those who have responsibility under this Act for ensuring fire safety in certain premises with sleeping accommodation in Scotland. In addition, this guide provides statutory guidance for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (‘SFRS’), as an enforcing authority.This Scottish Government guidance provides practical fire safety advice for certain existing premises with sleeping accommodation. This guidance documant has been issued in Feb.2022 and supersedes the previous June 2018 version. 

 

Action Plans

Enforcement Officers in Scotland generally require/ask for a written action plan based on the significant findings outlined in any fire risk assessement, this will form the platform for subsequent visits by Scottish Fire & Rescue Service Community Safety Officers to check progress on the resolution of significant findings highlighted in previous fire risk assessments.
