If you have visitors or contractors in your workplace you should pay special attention to ensuring they are aware of the emergency plan. Depending on the risks involved this may be as simple as providing fire action notices and an information card, or a short training session.

Training for your employees in the emergency plan is of course critical to its success. On their first day employees should be shown where all the fire exits are near to their place of work, how to raise the fire alarm and how to choose and use fire extinguishers.

People who work in high-risk areas should be given training that reflects the need. Remember your fire risk assessments: the greater the risk, the more detailed the training should be.

"This video's grand. I liked how it structured the training session for me. In the past I would have put something together myself, but this is a much more effective way of meeting the requirements of the new Care Standards."
