Overview

Basic fire safety is more inclusive than ever before. In the past, fire safety consisted of little more than a warning from the fire department to have a working smoke detector on each building floor. Nowadays, safety is much more detailed and based on a plan developed by professionals in the field of public safety.

In the UK, approximately 1.7 million people live in care homes that provide short-term care for old age people. Unfortunately, there are also nearly 80,000 fires each year in British homes to which they are exposed. It means that every 10 minutes, an incident occurs at a care home resulting in death or severe injury.

Due to this, all businesses in the United Kingdom (UK) must follow the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This training is a safety requirement for all employees in the work environment. If you do not take the training, you are not allowed to work. For this purpose, this basic safety awareness course fulfills your needs. It will explain how fires can be prevented or mitigated and how to implement safety controls in your work environment.

Everyone at work should take preventive fire measures at work. A fire safety culture is based on shared knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes about fire prevention and protection.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
