ONLINE City & Guilds Fire Safety Responsible Person Course (Remote Learning)

Are you responsible for fire safety at your workplace? This City & Guilds accredited online course has been created to give you all the knowledge and skills needed to keep your colleagues safe, while adhering to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. You can access this course from the comfort of your own home, and as it's led by fire experts in real-time, you'll be able to ask questions and engage with trainers, making sure you understand your duties as a Fire Safety Responsible Person.

Since fire door compliance forms a key part of overall fire safety, this course pairs naturally with the Fire Marshal Course, which covers the practical evacuation and emergency response side of fire safety that complements the legislative and building-focused content covered here. Anyone whose responsibilities also extend to inspecting existing fire doors should look for a dedicated fire door inspection course alongside this one, since the two cover genuinely distinct aspects of fire safety compliance.

To take part, you'll need a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker; tablets aren't supported for this course. A good understanding of spoken and written English is also necessary to attend and complete the course successfully.

By the end of this virtual course, you'll have a good understanding of fire safety legislation and practices, including:

• Building regulations relating to fire safety (Approved Document B)
• How to carry out a fire risk assessment
• Reviewing building safety measures effectively
• Fire door standards
• Compartmentation models
• Getting to know fire safety equipment
• Fire detection systems

It's important that everyone is aware of fire risks and safety measures in the workplace, so this online course is open to anyone keen to create a safer working environment. However, the training is especially aimed at those responsible for fire safety within a building or workplace, and is also suitable for employers, landlords, risk assessors, facilities managers and agents. If the safety of a building or premises is your responsibility, this course provides everything you need to know about fire safety.
