Fire Safety in Churches

Fire safety in churches is an important responsibility, as these unique buildings face fire safety challenges due to their construction. They often feature wooden interiors, aging electrical systems and the use of open flames. They may also become a target for arsonists.

Churches must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which mandates regular fire risk assessments and the implementation of adequate fire safety measures. A 'responsible person' must be appointed to ensure these fire safety measures are in place. Failure to comply can lead to serious consequences, including fines, imprisonment and prosecution by local authority Fire and Rescue Services.

Our online and face-to-face fire safety and fire warden training courses are designed to help church leaders, staff and volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed for a holistic view of fire safety in churches, reduce fire risks and ensure legal compliance.

If you want to train a small number of people or need immediate access to fire training, have a look at our online fire safety training.

Our friendly team is always on hand if you have any questions.  Please just ring 01327 552160 for advice or to make a booking.
