Is Fire Safety Training a Legal Requirement?
UK employers of one or more people are legally obliged (under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005) to ensure staff are trained about fire precautions in the workplace. Failure to provide training means you will fall foul of the law. As a result, you could be prosecuted resulting in a fine or prison sentence. Furthermore, you will be placing your property and staff in danger.
No one thinks a fire will happen to them, but fires do happen, therefore it is essential you are prepared for the worst-case scenario.
