Staff in educational institutions have a key role to ensure the safety of learners and anyone else who could be present. Schools are often large buildings that are in constant use throughout the day by large numbers of people. When schools are closed at night, weekends and school holidays they can be especially vulnerable to arson attacks. In order that the safety from fire of all school occupants can be ensured, school staff must have sufficient fire safety knowledge and skills to prevent fire and act effectively should one occur. The training duration is 15 contact hours.
