Ensuring your staff are properly trained in fire safety is a vital part of protecting your business, employees, and visitors. At Bristol Fire, we offer comprehensive fire marshal training courses designed to help your organisation meet its legal responsibilities while improving overall workplace safety. If you employ staff or operate premises open to the public, UK fire safety legislation requires you to have suitable emergency procedures in place, including a clear evacuation plan and designated, trained fire marshals.
Our fire marshal training courses are delivered by experienced, qualified professionals and are fully compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO). The training covers essential topics such as fire prevention, identifying fire hazards, emergency evacuation procedures, correct use of fire extinguishers, and the roles and responsibilities of a fire marshal. We ensure your team gains the knowledge and confidence needed to respond effectively in the event of a fire, helping to minimise risk and ensure the safety of everyone on your premises.
Investing in fire marshal training is not only a legal requirement but also a crucial step in safeguarding your business against fire-related risks. For companies based in Bristol and surrounding areas including Bath, Swindon, Somerset, Gloucester, and Cheltenham, our tailored fire marshal courses provide a practical and reliable solution to meeting fire safety compliance standards.
Having trained fire marshals on-site ensures that your business is prepared to act quickly and efficiently in an emergency. Our expert-led courses are tailored to suit your specific industry, premises, and level of risk, ensuring relevant and actionable training for your team. By choosing Bristol Fire, you can be confident that your staff will receive high-quality instruction, helping you meet your legal obligations while creating a safer working environment.

Section 21:2:a of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order states:
Training must include suitable and sufficient instruction on the appropriate precautions & actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard themselves & all other relevant persons on the premises.
Section 21:2:b states that training must be repeated periodically.
Section 21:2 states that training courses must take place during working hours.
Where courses are carried out at the customer’s premises, an outside space needs to be made available for the practical fire extinguisher training which is carried out on a gas tray apparatus. This area should be approximately 15’ x 12’ minimum and suitable for live fire demonstration (i.e. No ignition sources, trees etc. nearby).
Please ensure that there is a suitable parking space near the training area to enable easy transportation of the test appliance.
Each candidate should bring a pen and pad with them to enable brief note taking.
As the presentation is PowerPoint based, please will you indicate what, if any, visual appliances will be made available (i.e. projection onto a screen, large screen T.V. etc.) If none are available, the trainer will bring a computer monitor (approx 19′ viewing area) with him.
Cards will be issued at the end of the session with relevant details on them.
Please ensure candidates are on time for the start of training as they may not be able to gain access after it has started. Anyone leaving before the end of the session may not be deemed as fully trained.
If the trainer arrives at the premises as agreed and the course needs to be cancelled (for whatever reason) a cancellation charge will incur.
