Fire Safety

Fire Risk Assessment, Fire Safety Training, Fire Marshals and Fire Awareness together with Fire Extinguisher services from professionals

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005 places a duty on the ‘responsible person’ to complete a ‘suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks’ to identify the relevant fire precautions for their workplace. This assessment must be completed by a competent person, one defined as having ‘sufficient training and experience or knowledge’ to undertake this role.

Our staff are trained to a standard recognised by the National Examining Board in Occupational Safety and Health, the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, have been trained in Risk Assessment and Fire Safety at the Fire Services College, Moreton-in-Marsh and have over twenty years experience in the Fire and Safety Industry.

Our advisors will attend your premises to conduct an assessment of the processes and activities undertaken to produce a detailed document showing the risk, the control measures and any deficiencies, together with an itemised action plan highlighting any areas of concern.

Fire Extinguisher Training

Not all staff require ‘hands on’ training in the use of Fire extinguishers, but key members, or those with a specific responsibility, should receive training in the safe use of fire extinguishers in the workplace.

TSTC can provide you with a short course that will satisfy these requirements. Using various extinguishers and controlled real fires your staff will be able to practice fighting a fire under the guidance of our experienced instructors.

Fire Awareness / Fire Marshalls

For those staff with a direct responsibility for fire safety in the workplace a longer more detailed course that provides an understanding of the principles and need for fire safety management.

Giving a basic grounding in fire development, general housekeeping, evacuation procedures, maintenance and testing requirements of fire safety equipment and the importance of regular training this course will provide the confidence to managers and team leaders for supporting their staff and meeting the requirements of Article (21) of the legislation

Residential Care Premises

Residential care homes for the young, old or infirm provide unique circumstances and challenges for the manager.

Specific training, tailored to your premises, will give staff the confidence to manage a situation and provide safety for the residents until professional support arrives. Provision of a refuge is not an adequate procedural response to developing an evacuation procedure. Working with your staff, our advisors can provide advice and training on specific procedures to meet your needs.
