Fire safety training in St Helens.
We deliver fire safety training across St Helens, Newton-le-Willows and Haydock. Our trainers are based across the region and regularly work with the borough's manufacturers, distribution centres, schools and care providers.
St Helens is known around the world for glass making, and manufacturing remains a major employer. Many of our sessions here are for production and logistics teams working in large buildings.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service expects training records to be up to date for every member of staff. Inspectors look for training that refers to your own building, including its escape routes and assembly point, and an online certificate on its own rarely shows that.
Sessions take place at your premises in St Helens, at a time that fits around your operations, including early starts and shift changes. Call 01244 450 990 to discuss your requirements.

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.
A glass-making town with major logistics sites
Glass manufacturing has shaped St Helens for more than a century, and large industrial sites still operate in and around the town. Hot processes, furnaces and heavy plant all bring their own fire risks.
The borough's position between the M6 and M62 has also attracted large distribution centres around Haydock and Parkside. Whiston Hospital, schools and a busy town centre add to the variety of settings.
Hot processes and heavy industry
We cover furnaces, hot work and the safe shutdown of plant, and why staff should never re-enter to retrieve equipment.
Distribution centres
We focus on racking fires, charging areas and roll call across large sites.
Schools and care settings
Staff learn to sweep their areas and support people who need help to leave.
Alongside the local priorities above, we train staff in offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing across St Helens.
Around St Helens we also cover Haydock, Newton-le-Willows, Rainford, Eccleston, Billinge and Parr.

"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
