Fire Drills: Planning & Running an Evacuation

A practical guide to planning, running and learning from fire drills in workplaces in England and Wales, with notes on Scotland and Northern Ireland. Covers the legal basis, how to prepare, what to watch for during the drill and how to record and act on the results.

This course is for general awareness only. It is not accredited, it does not replace employer-specific or site-specific training, instruction or supervision, or a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, and completing it does not by itself meet any legal training requirement. Always follow your employer’s procedures and current guidance from HSE (or HSENI in Northern Ireland).
