Fire Safety at Work - are you up to date?

Free Fire Safety Training Workshop

I recently attended a networking event (The Best Of Newport) where we heard a presentation from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service about Fire Safety in the workplace.

Although I have previously been a fire warden and health and safety officer and feel quite comfortable with what we should and should not be doing in the workplace, this presentation was engaging, useful and as well as refreshing my knowledge, brought me right up to date with current expectations.

I was also very pleased to hear that the service is offering FREE, yes that is FREE Fire Safety Workshops in Llantrisant for businesses in Wales

Dates available are the 11th June and the 3rd September. There are 20 places per workshop and it is held at the Fire & Rescue HQ in Llantrisant.

So get up to date by booking yourself a place. You can book by phoning 01443 232732 or emailing firesafety@southwales-fire.gov.uk.

I would also like to recommend the HM Government publication 'A short guide to making your premises safe from fire' which is available from www.wales.gov.uk/fire and is free to download.
