Fire Safety

Fire safety training for
the workplace

Every workplace fire starts small enough to stop — and most of the damage comes from the minutes before anyone does the right thing. About 75 minutes trains prevention, response and evacuation so those minutes go well.

Why it matters

Small flame, small window.

Irish workplaces are required to have staff who know how to prevent fire and what to do when prevention fails. In hospitality the stakes are higher again — open flame, hot oil and a building full of people who don't work there. This course covers the fire triangle, prevention, active and passive protection, extinguisher selection and evacuation — matched to how fires actually start at work, and built around Irish and UK fire safety legislation.

Sample lesson
The fire triangleTaken directly from the course — exactly as paying learners see it
Knowledge checkQuestion 1 of 3

Fire needs three things — the fire triangle. They are:

Heat, fuel, oxygen. Remove any one and the fire goes out — every extinguisher and prevention measure works on one corner of the triangle.

Which extinguisher is safe on live electrical equipment?

CO2 doesn't conduct electricity and leaves no residue. Water or foam on live equipment puts the current through you.

The first thing to do when you discover a fire is:

Alarm first — always. People can't evacuate a fire they don't know about, and the building matters less than the people in it.

0/3

That's a taste of it. The full course covers everything an inspector — or a bad day — can throw at you, and the certificate proves it.

Questions

Fire Safety questions, answered plainly.

Every member of staff — fire safety awareness is a duty that applies across the workplace, not just to designated wardens. For the person who runs the evacuation, see our Fire Warden course.

This is awareness for everyone: prevention, response, evacuation. Fire Warden is the role on top — sweeping the building, managing assembly points and owning the drill. Most businesses train all staff here and one or two wardens further.

Yes — 1 CPD credit under activity number 1015939, delivered by a CPD-approved provider. Your certificate shows the activity number so it can be checked independently.

About 75 minutes, and you don't have to do it in one go. Your progress saves automatically, so you can stop and pick up where you left off on any device.

No — and that's deliberate. Lessons unlock in order, and each video has to be watched through before the next opens. It's still self-paced: stop, resume and rewatch whenever suits. But nobody can skip to the assessment, which is exactly why the certificate is worth accepting.

You retake it, free. There's no charge for additional attempts — we'd rather you knew the material than paid us twice.

The moment you pass. It's issued instantly in your name with a unique ID and QR code, ready to download, print or send on. It's valid for three years.

Then you get your money back. If your employer doesn't accept it within 60 days, or a Health and Safety Authority inspector doesn't accept it within 180 days, we'll refund you in full on production of a letter confirming it. Terms and conditions apply.

Yes, and there's no minimum spend. Buy seats, add your team, and manage everyone's progress and certificates from your dashboard — from your very first seat. Seat pricing drops at 2, 5, 20 and 50 seats.
