Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles
The Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles is a qualification aimed at individuals who intend to have responsibility for fire safety in the workplace. It provides learners with formal recognition of their knowledge and understanding of fire safety and is suitable for Fire Warden or Fire Marshall roles, as well as Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders. As the qualification is generic, it is applicable to a variety of working environments. All learners will cover the hazards and risks associated with fire in the workplace, how the risk is controlled, the principles and practice of fire safety management and the content of a fire safety briefing.
The aim of a Fire Safety Check is to minimise risk in residential and/or workplaces. Premises subject to fire safety checks covered by this qualification exclude single private dwellings, which are covered by Home Fire Safety Visits.
Those undertaking fire safety checks should identify and report issues and outcomes to specialist fire safety personnel where appropriate.
