Anyone who is 16 or above can become a fire warden. Nevertheless, they are required to complete an approved fire marshal training program to guarantee a thorough understanding of their duties and obligations.

The HABC Level 2 Award in Fire Safety is the perfect course for equipping new fire marshals with the knowledge and skills they need to perform the role.

Yes, it is a legal requirement but by extension.
 
In the UK, there is no specific legal requirement to have fire warden training. However, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers are legally required to ensure the safety of their employees and others in the workplace by implementing appropriate fire safety measures.
 
This includes appointing competent persons to assist in implementing fire safety measures. These competent persons must have adequate training, information, knowledge, and experience. This includes instructions on what to do in the event of a fire, the use of fire-fighting equipment, and the evacuation procedures.

The Fire Warden (Marshal) Certificate is valid for three years.

We advise that employees renew their fire warden certification every three years to ensure they are up-to-date with current legislation and requirements.
