Staff Training Programs

NFASS undertake many aspects of fire warden and fire safety training, these courses vary from smaller training sessions undertaken at our clients’ premises to larger classes within a pre-booked conference center.

To comply with (the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) all employers must arrange for employees to have a minimum of training according to the findings of their fire risk assessment and in accordance with the EMERGENCY PLAN.

The training is undertaken by our friendly advisor who has all the relevant qualifications, training and more importantly experience within the fire trade.

After completing the training all attendees will be sent a certificate of attendance.

We try to accommodate most of our customers’ needs. If you do not see the course to suit your staff please feel free to email a request.
