We ensure that you and your staff are aware of potential hazards in your workplace, and that said hazards are within the parameters of existing fire safety legislation (read 'What the law says' below).
Our range of fire safety courses includes:

What do our clients say?
"We have always been conscious of keeping our health and safety and fire risk assessments up-to-date. However, it wasn't until our recent Fire Risk Assessment from Total Fire Services Ltd that we realised there is a statutory requirement for staff to have fire training. We have been delighted with the training that Total Fire Services has provided for 80 plus teachers and support staff. Our staff were not enthused by the idea of fire training as part of their INSET, but Darren delivers a powerfully informative yet entertaining presentation which engages even the most challenging of audiences.
We look forward to welcoming Darren back next year for an update and highly recommend Total Fire Services for the delivery of fire training to the education sector."
