Fire Safety Awareness at Work Fire remains one of the most serious risks to workplace safety. Every year in Northern Ireland, fires in offices, warehouses, workshops and home-based workspaces cause preventable injuries, property damage and business disruption. Legal Island’s Fire Safety Awareness at Work eLearning course addresses these risks by equipping employees with the knowledge and practical skills to prevent fires and respond effectively in an emergency. The course is tailored specifically to Northern Irish law and provides comprehensive compliance training for all staff.
Overview

Workplace Fire Safety Essentials

Fires can start quickly and spread rapidly, especially in modern workplaces with electrical equipment, combustible materials and busy day-to-day activity. Many incidents are avoidable with the right awareness and consistent safe practices.

Every employee has a role in preventing fire hazards and following workplace procedures. From maintaining clear escape routes to promptly reporting hazards, shared responsibility is at the heart of fire safety.

This interactive training course empowers employees to recognise risks, adopt safe behaviours and act confidently while supporting compliance with Northern Irish fire safety legislation.
