This term is used in The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order . The adequate fire safety training should be based on the particular features of your premises and should:


• take account of the findings of the fire risk assessment;

• explain your emergency procedures;

• take account of the work activity and explain the duties and responsibilities of staff;

• take place during normal working hours and be repeated periodically where appropriate;

• be easily understandable by your staff and other people who may be present; 

 •be tested by fire drills.

Your company should appoint and train fire marshals to help with fire duties and evacuation of the building in case of a fire.Staff expected to undertake the role of fire marshals would require more comprehensive training.


Their role may include:

• helping those on the premises to leave;

• checking the premises to ensure everyone has left;

• using firefighting equipment if safe to do so;

• liaising with the fire and rescue service on arrival;

• shutting down vital or dangerous equipment; and

• performing a supervisory/managing role in any fire situation.
