Questions about staff fire training
These are the things landlords, office managers and responsible persons in Sutton tend to ask before booking a session for their employees.
What does a basic fire safety awareness session actually cover?
It covers hazard recognition, raising the alarm, using escape routes and understanding extinguishers. The trainer tailors the content to your specific building and the risks identified in your fire risk assessment.
How much does fire safety awareness training cost per person?
Pricing is set by the specialist firm delivering the session, not by Suttonfire. They quote based on group size, location and whether the training happens on site or remotely.
How soon can training be arranged for new starters?
The specialist firm usually aims to schedule sessions quickly, because the Fire Safety Order requires instruction before someone works unsupervised. Mention your start dates when you enquire.
Does every member of staff need this training?
Yes. Full-time, part-time, temporary and weekend workers all fall under the Fire Safety Order. No one should work in the building without receiving instruction first.
How often should awareness training be repeated?
Fire awareness refresher training should be repeated at least once a year to stay compliant. The specialist firm may recommend shorter intervals if the building layout changes, new risks emerge, or staff turnover is high enough that many workers have missed a session.
What record of the training do we keep?
The specialist firm provides an attendance log detailing who was trained, when and what was covered. Insurers and fire officers accept these records as evidence of compliance.
Do staff get a certificate, and how long is it valid?
Yes, attendees receive a fire training certificate after completing the session. Most specialist firms consider it valid for one year before fire awareness refresher training becomes necessary. Insurers and the fire service generally accept this written record as proof of compliance with the Fire Safety Order.
What information do you need from us first?
After you enquire, the specialist firm will ask for the number of staff attending, the building address in Sutton, your preferred dates, and any existing fire strategy documents. This information helps them plan a relevant session tailored to the specific risks present in your workplace.
