Fire safety training
in Wigan.
On-site. Practical. Site-specific.
On-site fire safety training and fire marshal courses for businesses and commercial premises across Wigan. From £395.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire safety training for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Wigan. We are based in Chester — Wigan is a regular part of our working week. Every course is delivered on-site at your premises by a practising fire risk assessor, with live extinguisher use included.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to ensure that employees receive adequate information, instruction, and training on fire safety. That obligation is not met by an online course. On-site training — delivered at your premises, referenced to your specific building and procedures — is the standard that demonstrates genuine compliance.

Wigan fire safety context
Wigan borough spans a large geographic area across west Greater Manchester and parts of Merseyside, taking in Leigh, Atherton, Hindley, and Tyldesley alongside the town itself. The borough's economic base combines significant warehousing and logistics operations — particularly around the motorway junctions — with a substantial retail, care, and community sector. Vacant and underused buildings are a notable feature of certain parts of Wigan town centre and the surrounding former mining areas, presenting a distinct fire risk profile that a responsible person commissioning an assessment should ensure is addressed explicitly.
We have written about vacant building fire risk in the context of the Wigan area on our blog — the lessons from premises like the Whelley Labour Club that have remained empty for extended periods are directly relevant to landlords and building owners with unoccupied properties across the borough. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service covers Wigan and takes a practical but rigorous approach to compliance across the borough's diverse premises base.
Who we work with in Wigan
Our fire safety training courses are adapted to reflect the specific fire risks and evacuation challenges of your premises type in Wigan.
Commercial & industrial
Warehouses, logistics, and town-centre premises
Wigan's logistics sector around the M6 corridor and its town-centre commercial stock both require assessments that reflect their specific risk profiles. We assess from £295.
Vacant & unoccupied premises
Empty buildings and properties between uses
Vacant buildings carry elevated fire risk from arson and accumulating hazards. We assess vacant and partially-occupied premises and advise on appropriate security and risk mitigation measures.
HMO & BTL landlords
Wigan and surrounding area residential
We produce assessments for HMOs and multi-let properties across Wigan and the wider borough, suitable for Wigan MBC licensing requirements.
Care & healthcare
Care homes and GP surgeries across the borough
CQC-ready documentation for care facilities across Wigan borough. PEEP review and evacuation strategy as standard.
Training as part of a complete service.
Fire safety training works best as part of a complete programme. A fire risk assessment identifies the risks in your building — training equips your staff to respond correctly. A fire door inspection ensures your passive protection is sound — training ensures your staff know why fire doors matter and keep them that way.
