group of supervisors on a fire safety course

Responsible Person Training

The responsible person training is aimed at Owners, managers and supervisors, in any organisation, who may be called upon to take a leadership role in a fire. 

History has shown us that human behaviour in a fire situation often requires people to be told what to do and how. This means that it can be very important that managers or supervisors can act calmly and take charge of the situation. This leadership can literally save lives.

Prosecutions, as well as the value of fines, for fire safety breaches, have risen massively since the Grenfell Fire. A better understanding of the duties of the responsible person would help avoid most prosecutions.

Through presentations and workshops, we will develop your team’s leadership skills, and knowledge of the Fire Safety Order, so they can carry out the role with confidence.

Course content includes:

  • Case studies
  • Workshop session on fire planning
  • The regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  • Evacuation plans

We can deliver this training on-site or at our training venue.
