Fire Marshal Training with St John Ambulance

Every business has a legal responsibility to protect its staff, visitors, and premises from the risk of fire. One of the most effective ways to meet this obligation is by ensuring staff receive fire marshal training from a trusted provider. At Defib Supplies, we promote expert-led courses, including the St John Ambulance Fire Marshal Training, to help organisations stay compliant and prepared.

By training employees to prevent, identify, and respond to fire emergencies, your business can significantly reduce risk and enhance workplace safety.

What Is Fire Marshal Training?

Fire marshal training provides essential safety knowledge and prepares designated staff to take action during a fire emergency. It teaches participants how to spot fire hazards, use fire extinguishers safely, and lead evacuations in line with UK fire safety regulations.

The St John Ambulance Fire Safety course is a day training session ideal for anyone with fire safety responsibilities, including fire wardens and health and safety officers.

Course Overview: What Does It Cover?

This nationally recognised fire marshal course includes both theoretical and practical scenarios, covering:

• Causes of workplace fires and how to prevent them

• Identifying fire hazards during routine checks

• How to use a fire extinguisher correctly and safely

• Evacuation procedures and managing people during an emergency

• Legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order

The course is suitable for participants aged 16 and over and includes practical demonstrations to build real confidence.

Why Is Fire Marshal Training Essential?

Having trained fire marshals is not optional. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, all workplaces must provide appropriate training and designate individuals responsible for fire safety. The consequences of not doing so can include fines, prosecution, and harm to employees.

By enrolling your team in the St John Ambulance Fire Marshal Training course through Defib Supplies, you are ensuring your business remains compliant and your team is equipped to act swiftly and responsibly during a fire.

Who Needs Fire Marshal Training?

This course is ideal for:

• Fire wardens and marshals

• Office managers and supervisors

• Health and safety representatives

• Staff involved in first aid provision

If your workplace has public access, multiple floors, or high-risk areas such as kitchens or warehouses, you should have multiple trained fire marshals available during each shift.

How Many Fire Marshals Should You Have?

The number of fire marshals you need depends on the size of your building, the number of employees, your hours of operation, and the level of fire risk. Most organisations require more than one fire marshal to ensure adequate coverage during absences or shift changes. If you are unsure, our team can help you assess your needs.

You can also find fire safety guidance on the Health and Safety Executive website.
