Course aims

This course has been designed to give you a clear and practical understanding of fire safety in the workplace, and what’s expected of you as an employee.

You’ll build your knowledge step by step, focusing on real-life situations and ways you can help keep yourself and your colleagues safe at work.

Your overall learning objectives are:
  • Understand how fire behaves and why it can become dangerous
  • Recognise who is responsible for fire safety and the responsibilities of employees
  • Identify fire hazards and help reduce risk in the workplace
  • Understand fire safety systems, equipment, and emergency procedures
  • Support safe evacuation and respond appropriately in an emergency

Who is it for?

NSA doesn't just teach what you need to know - we'll always cover why it's important and how to apply it in real life.

How is it delivered?

This course is designed around real workplace situations, not just information. 

You’ll learn through short, focused e-learning modules supported by visual examples. Instead of memorising rules, you’ll work through what actually matters to you as an employee - from spotting risks during day-to-day work to safely evacuating if you hear an alarm. Each module builds on the last, helping you understand not just what to do, but how to apply it in real scenarios.

The course is delivered online, so you can work through it at your own pace in your learning portal.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear from our learners...

The course content is excellent, you're learning the legal requirements and how fire actually works and then applying this in a practical, real world, way for the assessments rather than just repeating regulations.

Thus far I have loved the course! It is interesting, in-depth, and has a familiar NCRQ feel that connects real-world situations to practical applications. The team at NSA have done a fantastic job with this course, providing a course that is really needed in the industry. As a experienced fire safety professional and risk assessor, I still found areas to research and learn more about.

I would like to say I think the way the unit one assignments have been designed is perfect. It is not like other exam bodies where you need to give  a textbook answer, it introduces you to real-world scenarios. My job is a senior health and safety consultant and the advice emails that we are required to respond to are like what I do receive in real-life.

course contents

Your learning journey

Block 1 | Setting the scene

You'll start by looking at the real-world consequences of fire and why fires can become so dangerous so quickly. You'll then be introduced to the Fire Safety Order, helping you understand how fire safety is managed in the workplace and the role you play in keeping yourself and others safe.

Block 2 | Understanding fire

Next, you'll look at the science of fire and how it behaves. You'll learn what causes fires to start, how they develop, and how heat, smoke, and flames can spread through a building. By understanding how fire behaves, you'll be better equipped to recognise risks and understand the purpose of the fire safety measures used to control them.

Block 3 | Fire safety in your workplace

Finally, you’ll look at fire safety in the workplace. You’ll learn how everyday hazards can be prevented, how fire safety measures such as alarms, fire doors and escape routes help protect people, and what you should do if a fire alarm sounds.
