Practical. Building-specific. Not a box-ticking exercise.
01 — Fire safety law
What the FSO requires of your staff
The legal framework explained in plain English — what the responsible person must do, what staff are required to do, and what happens when obligations are not met.
02 — Fire causes and prevention
How fires start and how to stop them
The ignition triangle, common ignition sources in your specific premises, and the practical prevention measures that reduce the likelihood of a fire starting.
03 — Fire detection and alarm
What the alarm means and what to do
Your specific alarm system, how it activates, what different signals mean, and the immediate action required from staff on hearing the alarm.
04 — Evacuation procedure
Your building's specific escape routes and assembly point
The evacuation procedure for your specific premises — escape routes, assembly point, roll call, and fire marshal responsibilities for each zone or floor.
05 — Fire extinguisher use
Hands-on practical use on a live fire
Every delegate uses a fire extinguisher on a live fire — the only way to build the confidence and muscle memory that makes the difference in a real emergency.
06 — Fire marshal duties
Specific responsibilities for designated marshals
Sweep duties, assembly point management, liaison with the fire service, and the specific responsibilities that designated marshals carry during and after an evacuation.
Fire safety training in Ashton-in-Makerfield.
People in Ashton-in-Makerfield work in education, care, retail and hospitality, and many commute to Wigan, St Helens and beyond. School and care staff are responsible for people who need help to leave, which makes practical training important.
We tailor each session to the building. School staff rehearse accounting for pupils, care teams practise moving residents, and shop staff learn how to clear customers quickly.
Many local employees work in schools and care homes, where they are responsible for children or residents who cannot leave on their own. Practical drills, rehearsed with the real building and the real alarm, give those staff confidence that they can get everyone out in the time the fire risk assessment allows.
Every course is delivered at your premises, with live extinguisher practice where the site allows.
A town between two motorways
Ashton-in-Makerfield grew as a mining and manufacturing town, and today its position near junctions 23 and 24 of the M6 and the A580 has made it a busy logistics area. Large warehouses operate around Haydock and Ashton.
The town centre has shops, pubs and community buildings, and there are many schools and care homes in the surrounding residential areas. Haydock Park racecourse nearby brings large crowds on race days.
Logistics and warehousing
We cover racking, packaging waste, battery charging and evacuation across large floor areas.
Schools
Teaching and support staff learn to sweep their areas and account for pupils at the assembly point.
Care homes
Care teams learn assisted evacuation and how to work with residents' personal emergency evacuation plans.
Our sector guides cover offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing in more detail, and we train in all of these settings in Ashton-in-Makerfield.
As well as Ashton-in-Makerfield itself, we deliver training in Haydock, Bryn, Golborne, Garswood, Abram and Billinge.

"Great training session. Tim explained everything clearly, kept it engaging and made the information interesting and easy to understand. At the end of the session, Tim showed each of us how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire that he safely started in a metal bucket. I have taken all this feedback to the practice i work in and we have now invited Tim to come and train the whole practice. Highly recommend this company."Julie P. · Google Review
