The Level 1 Award in Fire Safety Awareness is a qualification aimed at all staff, particularly new starters in any workplace, where a basic understanding of fire safety is required.
Persons gaining this qualification will know that fire safety is the responsibility of everyone in the workplace with recognition of the contribution they may have to prevent the starting and spread of fire.
Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility.
The QNUK Level 1 Award in Fire Awareness at Work (RQF) provides employees with the essential knowledge they need to understand workplace fire risks and respond appropriately if a fire occurs.
Designed as an introduction to workplace fire safety, this regulated qualification is suitable for employees across a wide range of industries and organisations.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, we make fire safety training straightforward, practical and relevant. Our aim is to help learners understand what they need to do before, during and after a fire emergency rather than simply memorising information.
This is a regulated Level 1 qualification designed to provide employees with a foundation in workplace fire awareness.
With approximately 4 guided learning hours, the qualification can typically be delivered over half a day, making it an ideal option for organisations looking to train employees without creating significant disruption to normal operations.
Learners who successfully complete the course receive a recognised certificate.
Improve Fire Safety Awareness Across Your Organisation
Effective fire safety arrangements rely on employees understanding their responsibilities and knowing how to react if something goes wrong.
Providing employees with appropriate fire awareness training can help your organisation:
Training can be used as part of employee induction or as refresher training for existing members of staff.
Fire safety training is most effective when learners can relate it to their own workplace.
Our instructors use practical examples and clear explanations to help employees understand why workplace fire procedures exist and what their role is in supporting them.
Where training is delivered specifically for an organisation, the session can be related to your workplace arrangements and the needs of your employees.
Depending on your requirements, this may also include discussion around your evacuation arrangements and workplace procedures.
The qualification is designed for employees and can be used across many different working environments.
This could include:
It can be particularly useful when introducing new employees to workplace fire safety or refreshing the knowledge of an existing workforce.
For organisations looking to train several employees, SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can deliver the course directly at your workplace.
In-house delivery can provide a convenient way of training teams together while allowing discussions to be related more closely to your own fire safety arrangements.
Benefits can include:
Learners are assessed through multiple-choice questions to confirm their understanding of the principles covered during the course.
On successful completion, learners receive their qualification certificate.
Refresher training is recommended periodically, with the course guidance recommending renewal of knowledge approximately every three years.
Employees who develop additional fire safety responsibilities may wish to progress to further training.
A natural progression from this qualification is the QNUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety for Fire Marshals (RQF), which is designed for individuals taking on greater responsibility for workplace fire safety.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, we believe fire safety training should be easy to understand and relevant to the workplace.
We focus on giving learners useful knowledge they can apply rather than overwhelming them with unnecessary technical information.
When you train with us, you can expect:
Our aim is simple: to help employees understand their role in preventing fires and know how to respond safely if an emergency occurs.
Whether you need to train one member of staff or an entire workforce, SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can help.
