What the course gives your fire marshals
Role-specific learning
The course covers duties that go beyond general staff awareness.
Based on your procedures
On-site delivery links the training to your building, layout, fire provisions and risks.
Helps calm organisation
Staff understand what to do before, during and after an evacuation.
Give marshals a role they can carry out well
Fire marshals need more than a title on a noticeboard. They need to understand the part they play in prevention, routine observation, raising concerns and supporting an orderly response if the alarm sounds. Our on-site training covers common causes of workplace fires, alarm procedures, evacuation support, checking designated areas and assembly arrangements, with attention to the marshal's role before, during and after an incident. Through Fire Skills Ltd, the learning stays grounded in the real building, not an abstract example.
Relate the learning to your own workplace
Delivering the course at your premises helps staff connect each duty to the exits, alarm arrangements and procedures they actually use. That matters if you are appointing new marshals or giving existing role holders a clearer structure. We keep the session focused on practical workplace actions, including when to report concerns, how to support responsible staff and where the marshal's role begins and ends. With Fire Skills Ltd, nominated staff leave with a more usable understanding of what the role involves.
Frequently asked questions
Who should attend fire marshal training?
This course suits newly appointed fire marshals and existing role holders who need their duties clarified or refreshed. It is useful where staff are expected to help with prevention, checks, evacuation support and reporting during an emergency.
What topics are covered on the course?
We cover common fire causes, routine observations, alarm response, evacuation support, checking designated areas, assembly arrangements and the marshal's part in the wider emergency plan. The aim is to make the role clear in practical workplace terms.
Can the course reflect our own building?
Yes. Because the training is delivered on site, we can relate the learning to your alarm arrangements, escape routes, assembly point and the way marshal duties sit within your own procedures. That makes the session easier for participants to apply in real conditions.
