This online Fire Marshal training course makes you aware of the duties and responsibilities of a fire warden / fire marshal.
The course covers the routine duties of a fire marshal (often referred to as a fire warden) and the role they play in emergencies. It includes how the fire marshal can help other workers to evacuate safely, how to check that a building has been evacuated, and what to do once outside the building. It is also important to understand how people react when an alarm sounds and how a sound knowledge of what to do will gain you valuable time in an emergency.
The Fire Marshal course relates to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
Who should take fire marshal training?
It is best to have a designated person in your business who can become a fire marshal. They’ll need to be someone who can take on the responsibility of checks, understanding what to do in an emergency, and how to carry out a risk assessment.
This course is popular for supervisors, office managers & receptionists to take, but anyone in a business can take part if you’re looking to have certified fire marshals in the workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
A fire marshal, or fire warden, plays a key role in fire prevention and the safe evacuation of a building in an emergency.
Fires happen. If your workplace ever faces a fire emergency, having a designated fire warden, appropriately trained, could be key to a good outcome.
Although it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure precautions are in place, it is the role of the fire marshal to run drills and undertake regular fire prevention checks.
For more information please read our article What is a Fire Marshal?
A fire marshal needs a good understanding of fire safety and fire hazards in their workplace. There are two categories of fire marshal responsibilities: preventative day-to-day duties and duties required in the event of a fire. Our online fire marshal training covers both categories.
