The Program
Fire Safety is a team approach and involves a commitment of both the building Owner and any Employers and tenants operating in the building. Almost every Commercial / Office building Fire Safety Plan requires tenants and employers operating in the building to provide sufficient numbers of, and trained staff on the fire safety program for that workplace.
These “Supervisory Staff” members typically report to the Chief Fire Warden for that employer. This accredited training program will allow participants to develop the tools and foundation to successfully manage and implement your Fire Warden and workplace fire safety program, and implement the building’s approved fire safety plan within your tenant space.
