Are your organisation's buildings, premises and facilities compliant with current fire safety laws? Do your employees know what fire precautions they should take? Do personnel know what to do upon discovering a fire, what to do in the event of an emergency and how to evacuate buildings, premises or facilities safely?
If you answered 'no' to any of the above then your organisation may be in breach of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and could be prosecuted or fined or served a notice or be exposed to significant legal claims. The provision of training is not a matter of choice or optional, it is an absolute legal requirement for your organisation.
Aims of the course
'FIRE SAFETY AWARENESS' aims to change the way that your organisation thinks about workplace fire safety and fire safety training. It is designed to promote a culture within your business that encourages everyone to focus on fire prevention and the correct course of action to take in the event of a fire.
Who is it for?
The course is for employees at all levels or those who occupy or work in your organisation's buildings, premises or facilities. Developed by qualified and experienced health, safety and fire professionals and e-learning developers with many years experience in the delivery of learning solutions. The result is a high quality training solution that gives the trainee the necessary tools to meet their health, safety and environment obligations and the organisation a level of compliance through an engaging and effective learning medium.
How is it delivered?
'FIRE SAFETY AWARENESS' can be delivered online, over a network, standalone or via CD-Rom to each learner at their desktop, laptop or other device.
The course conforms to SCORM E-Learning industry standards which means it can be delivered via SCORM compatible learning management systems. Alternatively, if your organisation is looking for a simple and easy to use management system for administrating, distributing and managing e-learning course(s) then we can also deliver the course via REALSENSE's own management system called ActiVbase.
The learning can be completed at the learner's own pace and at a time convenient to them. A simple 'book marking' method is used to record progress providing the learner with an easy way of resuming the course at a later stage. This method of training delivery means typical costs of training can be reduced significantly whilst still achieving the desired awareness and compliance objectives associated with the organisation's legal responsibilities.
Compliance record keeping
An invaluable feature of our E-Learning is record keeping. This provides a compliance audit trail by recording the progress and completion of courses and making them available for you to view and manage electronically.
