protection and if necessary, sub-wardens to cover parts of the premises such as
floors.
This course covers instructions on the following
- Fire protection equipment, such as indicator panels, call points,
detectors and any auxiliary equipment connected to the fire alarm.

C - Carrying Out an Evacuation Drill
Premises must have fire evacuation drills that realistically reflect the
circumstances that might occur in the event of a fire. The recommended time
interval for these drills is at least every six months.
This course covers the following:
- Prior attendance by a Davenheath fire engineer to liaise with management
about the structure of the drill and to remind fire marshals of their
duties;
- Ensuring the drill reflects particular circumstances of the premises
(including use of little used escape routes) and that those who need to be
made aware of the drill such as remote call centres or neighbouring
businesses are forewarned;
- Supervision, and timing of the actual fire evacuation drill;
- Debriefing management on completion of the drill and recording details
in the relevant record books.
Duration: Approx 2 hours.
