Where is the Fire Warden Training held?
Since fire safety applies to everyone in the workplace, Fire Awareness and Fire Warden Training is normally done in-house at your workplace to allow everyone to attend. In-house training makes the course more practical and relevant, as we will be able to tailor the training to the actual equipment and evacuation procedures of the buildings in which they work.
