The duty

What the Law Expects

Training is one part of a fire-safety duty that sits with the school, not with the course.

Who the duty sits with

Fire-safety duties in a school sit with the employer and the person in control of the building — the board of management, the trust or the local authority, depending on how the school is run. This course is the training half of that duty, not the whole of it.

What staff are expected to know

  • How a fire starts and spreads in a school building
  • How to raise the alarm and what happens next
  • How to evacuate a class calmly, including pupils who need help
  • Assembly points, roll call and who reports what

The legal backdrop

Fire safety in education settings is governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003. Neither names a particular course, but both require that people are trained for the risks they actually face.

Who decides if it is enough

Whether this course satisfies a specific requirement is your employer’s call, usually alongside their insurer, with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) as the regulator. We would rather say that than guess on something that matters.
