Current legislation, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, applies to all workplaces regardless of the number of employees and requires employers to provide adequate training in fire ​​awareness for all members of their staff. Our online care home fire safety training courses are aimed at employees who work in a care home setting to assist them in identifying and reducing the risk that fire presents in the workplace.
