At NPG Fire Safety, we believe that high-quality fire awareness training is one of the most effective ways to protect people, property, and business continuity. Whether you manage a small team or a large workforce, equipping your staff with the knowledge and practical skills to respond confidently in the event of a fire is not only good practice—it’s a legal requirement.
Under Article 21 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers are required to provide adequate fire safety training to all employees. This includes ensuring that staff understand fire risks within the premises, are aware of evacuation procedures, and know how to respond during a fire emergency. In many buildings, it’s also necessary to appoint and train Fire Wardens to oversee fire safety measures and lead evacuations if needed.
We offer a range of face-to-face Fire Awareness Training courses tailored to suit your organisation’s specific needs. These sessions go far beyond the limitations of online courses, delivering an engaging, memorable, and practical learning experience that truly prepares participants for real-world fire incidents.
While online training may be convenient, it cannot replicate the real-life experience of standing in front of a fire. Our experiential approach to fire training enables attendees to:
This immersive training style helps participants retain vital information, develop confidence under pressure, and make better decisions in a real emergency. It’s the difference between reading about fire safety and actually applying it when it matters most.
Our Fire Awareness Training courses are designed to give staff the essential knowledge they need to stay safe, make informed decisions, and respond appropriately in the event of a fire. Topics covered typically include:
Our sessions are led by qualified fire safety professionals with real-world experience and a passion for fire prevention. Each course is delivered in a clear, accessible format, with opportunities for questions and discussion, making it suitable for individuals at all levels of experience.
Every Fire Awareness Training course delivered by NPG Fire Safety includes a hands-on fire extinguisher session as standard. We believe this practical element is one of the most valuable parts of the training, giving participants real-life experience in handling fire extinguishers and learning how they behave in a live situation. Rather than simply discussing extinguisher types in a classroom or answering questions in an online module, attendees are given the opportunity to use real extinguishers to put out a controlled fire in a safe and fully supervised environment. This offers far more than theoretical knowledge—it builds familiarity, confidence, and a genuine understanding of how fire extinguishers work in practice.
Participants are shown how to select the correct type of extinguisher based on the fire class and how to operate it safely and effectively. They experience the weight, pressure, and handling of different models and gain an understanding of how long they last, how close they should stand, and what techniques they should use to extinguish different types of fire.
By practising these techniques first-hand, individuals are much better prepared to act quickly and decisively in a real emergency. They also begin to recognise the limitations of extinguishers—knowing when a fire is too large to tackle and when evacuation is the only safe option. This type of practical training often proves eye-opening. Many attendees are surprised by the intensity of the heat, the volume of noise from the extinguishers, and the speed at which decisions must be made. It creates a sense of realism that written materials or video demonstrations simply cannot replicate.
Giving your team this level of exposure makes a tangible difference. In the event of a fire, a confident, well-trained individual may be able to contain a small incident before it escalates, preventing damage, protecting life, and maintaining business continuity. That’s why we include this essential training in all of our Fire Awareness courses—because when it comes to safety, preparation matters.
At NPG Fire Safety, we recognise that every organisation has its own unique setup, sector-specific challenges, and fire safety priorities. That’s why our Fire Awareness Training can be fully tailored to meet the needs of your business, whether you’re based in an office, a warehouse, a hospitality venue, or any other type of premises. We offer training that’s shaped around your building’s layout, operational routines, and the specific risks your staff may face day to day. Each course is designed to be relevant and practical, ensuring that every participant gains meaningful knowledge that applies directly to their working environment.
Our courses can accommodate up to 15 attendees, making them ideal for teams who want to train together and share the learning experience. Training can be delivered on-site at your premises, or at our training facility in Burton-in-Kendal—whichever is most convenient for you. For businesses with smaller teams or individuals who need fire safety training, we also run monthly public sessions, offering a cost-effective solution without the need to book a full course.
Whether you need training for your whole team or just a few staff, we’ll provide a course that helps you stay compliant and fosters a strong fire safety culture across your organisation.
Investing in fire awareness training is a proactive and responsible step that plays a crucial role in reducing fire risks, meeting legal obligations, and protecting everyone within your premises. It equips staff with the knowledge and confidence needed to respond effectively in an emergency, which can make a significant difference when every second counts. Training also contributes to a safer working environment by improving the safety culture and helping to prevent fire-related incidents before they occur. When your team understands how fires start, how to identify potential hazards, and how to act quickly, the overall risk is greatly reduced.
In addition, effective fire awareness training supports your business continuity planning. By ensuring that staff know how to handle fire situations calmly and correctly, you’re better prepared to avoid disruption and limit damage in the event of an incident. Most importantly, fire awareness training ensures your organisation remains compliant with UK fire safety legislation, which places a number of requirements on all employers.
When you choose NPG Fire Safety, you’re not just meeting regulations—you’re building a culture of safety, awareness, and preparedness across your workplace.
Whether you’re looking for on-site training, a place on one of our monthly public courses, or tailored training for your Fire Wardens, we’re here to help.
