Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, employers are responsible for the fire safety of their premises. Within this Act there is a requirement of employers to ensure all staff are trained in the use of fire fighting equipment and fire evacuation procedures. 

All staff should receive induction and regular training relating to the action(s) to be taken in the event of fire, in particular evacuation procedures, fire extinguisher training, where appropriate, Fire Marshall training and any specialist duties required e.g. calling the Fire Service, assisting disabled persons to safety etc.

At Highland Fire Training we provide courses designed to provide a basic level of competency using Fire Safety Equipment as required by The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
