Enhanced Fire Safety Training

It’s important that staff in your workplace have an awareness of fire safety, the dangers fire can cause, and the best ways to deal with fire related situations. Not only is it a responsibility to train staff under the Fire (Scotland) Act 200 and Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, but it also makes business sense.

Simply put, the cost of training your staff could be significantly lower than the cost to your business of a destructive work place fire.
