Personnel servicing fire extinguishers should, according to BS5306 part 3:2003, be 'competent' and this requires them passing the FETA or an equivalent BAFE recognised examination.

Fire Industry Resources & Equipment Ltd provide training and refresher courses to fire trade extinguisher service technicians and in-house maintenance people in organisations that warrant servicing their own extinguishers or those working in facility management companies who need to service a clients extinguishers as part of an all encompassing service contract.

The intensive technicians' examination course runs for three days with the students taking the written and practical FIA (FETA) examination on the fourth day.

The one day refresher course is required to be taken every three years according to BS5306 part 3:2003 for the extinguisher service technician to retain 'competency' and is open to anyone who has previously attained the FETA or an equivalent examination. In effect the course provides ongoing 'continuous professional development' found in other skilled professions.

Scheduled courses are run frequently at training venues around the UK, alternatively if you have five or more technicians needing training on any one course you should find it more cost effective for us to run the course in-situ at your own facilities.

Keeping you updated with our forthcoming events, please find the last two dates for our Responsible Person Training for this year.

Overview
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a 'Responsible Person' in every workplace to be nominated. This interactive training course provides you with a greater understanding of the role of the 'Responsible Person' as well as providing training and knowledge to help you instruct and supervise other members of staff.

Who should attend?
The Fire Safety within organisations belongs to the 'Responsible Person' who, in the workplace, is the employer, owner of the premises or the occupying business. Therefore this course is designed for those nominated to fulfill the role of a Responsible Person. This training is also very beneficial to those nominated as 'Competent' Persons who may be required to carry out tasks on behalf of the Responsible Person.

- The legal requirement for a Responsible Person
- Relevant Persons & Competent Persons and how they link in with the role
- Main Responsibilities including
- Fire Risk Assessment
- General Fire Precautions & Fire Safety Policy

- Managing the Means of Escape

- Special and Specific Measures (as appropriate)
- Providing Information for Relevant Persons
- Record Keeping

The training will last two days and will be provided by a senior consultant with a minimum

of the CFPA European Diploma in Fire Prevention and over 10 years experience within fire safety and training. At the end of the course delegates will complete a written test to demonstrate that they have reached the appropriate level of competence to undertake the role requested of them.

- Wednesday & Thursday the 17^th &18^th September 08.
- Thursday & Friday the 20^th & 21^st November 08.
