Fire Safety Training

If you have responsibility for non-domestic premises or houses with multiple occupancy in Scotland covered by the fire safety laws (Fire (Scotland) Act), you are likely to have some responsibility for compliance to any fire safety legislation which applies to those premises.

From October 2006, fire safety law in Scotland has changed, and existing fire safety legislation has been replaced. Fire certificates have been abolished, and if you have an existing fire certificate it is no longer valid.

Premises covered by the fire safety laws may be inspected by an enforcement officer to ensure compliance with the law. Usually the enforcing authority will be the local Fire and Rescue Services.

Strathclyde Fire & Rescue provides courses to ensure that business owners, employees, or anyone with fire safety responsibilities, can meet the requirements of the new fire safety laws in Scotland.

SFR's Training Centre is committed to the delivery of high quality fire safety training for a discerning customer base. The Centre focuses on emergency response training in risk critical areas for the business community. SFR Training Centre offers a comprehensive range of fire safety, health and safety, breathing apparatus, and hazardous materials training courses.

Strathclyde Fire & Rescue is one of the largest public Fire & Rescue Services in Europe. Our personnel respond to every conceivable type of fire emergency and are therefore trained to the highest level of competence.

Further information on specific fire safety training courses can be found on the Fire Safety Courses page.
