How Does This Affect Me and My Workplace?

Understanding fire safety is vital and can mean the difference between a life saved and a life lost. Failure to comply with government legislation can also potentially lead to prosecution and fines, as fire safety training is compulsory for all companies.

This Hospital and NHS Fire Safety Course is a comprehensive way to ensure compliance as it offers an in-depth approach to fire safety within a hospital environment to keep both staff and patients safe.

Who Should Take This Course?

Under government law, it is essential that all employees in all industries undertake adequate fire safety training. This online course provides appropriate training for all members of staff, from managers and supervisors to even part-time staff. It is the responsibility of all employers to ensure that members of staff complete adequate fire safety training upon starting work.

Please note that staff who have fire risk assessment and evacuation procedures responsibilities need to undertake additional fire warden training.

Is this Course Continual Professional Development Accredited?

Health and Care's certified and approved online training solutions help you to comply with your mandatory health and safety training requirements. Most of our online health and safety courses are continual professional development (CPD) accredited, which means that on successful completion, 1 hour of CPD credit will be provided in addition to a certificate of achievement.

What Is CPD?

CPD is the aim of professionals to develop their skills and enhance their abilities through various workshops and online courses. Rather than being passive learners, those committed to being CPD-compliant develop as proactive individuals.

How Is the Course Assessed?

There is a simple test at the end of each course tutorial. However, some courses such as DSE or Manual Handling have a separate Risk Assessment Module. In order to complete the risk assessment module, simply click on the separate ‘Risk Assessment’ button within the course.

If you have completed a tutorial and test paper, you will be given the option to print your certificate out if you have passed your course test paper. Simply print the certificate and keep for your records.
