Fire safety training for businesses
Commercial training courses
In 2006 The Regulatory Reform Order came into force bringing
together all aspects of fire legislation.
Article 21 of the Order states that ‘the Responsible Person’
must provide adequate fire safety training for their staff.

The West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS) can assist you
in meeting the requirements of the Regulatory Reform Order by
providing you and your staff with fire safety training.
Why should you choose the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service
for your staff training?
- All training courses are run by experienced operational
firefighters.
- The WSFRS is a non-profit making organisation and can offer
courses at competitive rates.
- Courses can be tailored to your specific requirements.
- Courses can be run on your premises thus reducing the time
taken to deliver the training.
- We also offer places on our monthly ‘open’ courses, for small
numbers of staff, at Worthing Fire Station.
We offer the following courses:
- Fire awareness - A course which will provide staff with a
basic understanding of fire and the actions to take in the event of
a fire.
- Fire extinguisher training - A course which will provide
members of staff with an awareness of the dangers of fire and how
to protect themselves at home and at work.
- Fire Warden - A course which will provide appointed members of
staff with a greater understanding of the action to be taken in the
event of fire and their additional responsibilities.
- Fire risk assessment training - A course which will give
selected members of staff a basic understanding of the principals
of fire risk assessment which will enable them to carry out a fire
risk assessment of their premises.
- First Aid - We run both the initial 4-day course and the 2-day
course refresher. The 1-day Appointed Persons courses can also be
provided.
- Manual handling - Another aspect of ensuring the safety of
staff is providing them with information on how to protect
themselves when lifting.
We also offer first aid and manual handling courses to help you
meet your health and safety obligations. In addition, we can
service and maintain your fire extinguishers in accordance with
British Standard 5306.
