Fire Awareness
Overview
|
An employer is required to provide suitable training for those members of staff who are responsible for assisting in the fire evacuation procedure. The number of fire wardens that your organisation requires depends on the building design and use. In addition you should train extra staff to cover for holidays and illness. |
