Develop the Knowledge and Confidence to Act as a Workplace Fire Marshal

Fire marshals play an important role in supporting an organisation’s fire safety arrangements.

The QNUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety for Fire Marshals (RQF) is designed for employees who have been appointed, or are preparing to be appointed, as a fire marshal or fire warden within their workplace.

Delivered by SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, this regulated qualification provides learners with a practical understanding of their role and the actions they may be expected to take before, during and following a fire emergency.

Our approach is straightforward and workplace focused. We want learners to understand what being a fire marshal actually means and leave the course feeling confident about carrying out their responsibilities.

A Recognised Level 2 Fire Safety Qualification

This is a regulated Level 2 qualification developed specifically for workplace fire marshals.

The course includes approximately 6 guided learning hours and is normally delivered over 1 day, making it suitable for organisations looking to provide recognised fire marshal training without taking employees away from their normal duties for an extended period.

Successful learners receive a qualification certificate following completion of the course and assessment.

More Than General Fire Awareness

A fire marshal has additional responsibilities beyond those of a general employee.

This course develops learners’ understanding of workplace fire safety while focusing on the responsibilities associated with the fire marshal role.

The training helps learners understand how they can contribute to effective fire prevention, support evacuation arrangements and respond appropriately when a fire alarm is activated or an emergency develops.

Supporting Your Organisation’s Fire Safety Arrangements

Appointing fire marshals is only effective when those individuals understand what is expected of them.

Providing suitable training can help your organisation:

  • Develop confident and competent fire marshals
  • Strengthen workplace fire safety arrangements
  • Reinforce emergency procedures
  • Improve employee awareness of fire prevention
  • Support safe and organised evacuation
  • Improve communication during an emergency
  • Give appointed employees greater confidence in their role
  • Promote a positive fire safety culture across the organisation

Fire marshal training can also help ensure that the people given additional responsibilities understand where their role begins and how they should work alongside your wider emergency arrangements.

Practical Workplace-Focused Training

At SM Safety Training, we believe fire marshal training should relate to situations learners may genuinely experience.

Our instructors use practical examples, discussions and workplace scenarios to explain how fire safety arrangements work in practice.

Rather than simply memorising procedures, learners are encouraged to think about how they would respond within their own working environment.

For in-house bookings, there is also an opportunity to relate discussions to your organisation’s arrangements where appropriate.

Training for Fire Marshals and Fire Wardens

The qualification is suitable for employees appointed as fire marshals or fire wardens across a wide variety of workplaces.

This may include:

  • Offices
  • Warehouses
  • Manufacturing environments
  • Construction workplaces
  • Care homes and healthcare settings
  • Schools and education
  • Retail
  • Hospitality
  • Engineering
  • Facilities management
  • Public sector organisations
  • Charities and voluntary organisations

It may also be suitable for supervisors and managers who have additional responsibility for workplace fire safety.

In-House Fire Marshal Training

For organisations needing to train several fire marshals, SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can deliver the course directly at your workplace.

In-house delivery can make it easier to train a group of employees together and allows the training to be related more closely to your own working environment.

Benefits of on-site training can include:

  • Reduced employee travel
  • Less disruption to your working day
  • Training your fire marshal team together
  • Dates arranged around operational requirements
  • Workplace-specific discussions
  • Greater consistency across your emergency team
  • An opportunity to reinforce your own fire procedures and evacuation arrangements

We can discuss your requirements and arrange a suitable training date for your organisation.

Assessment and Certification

Learners complete a multiple-choice assessment to demonstrate their understanding of the principles covered during the course.

Successful learners receive their qualification certificate.

The course guidance recommends refreshing fire marshal knowledge approximately every three years, although organisations may choose to provide refresher training more frequently depending on workplace risks, changes to procedures or individual training needs.

Progress Your Fire Safety Knowledge

For learners looking to develop their fire safety knowledge further, progression may include the QNUK Level 3 Award in Fire Risk Assessment (RQF).

This can be particularly relevant for individuals who are developing broader responsibilities within workplace fire safety or health and safety.
