AIM

The training aims are designed to enable employees identified in your emergency plan who have a supervisory role in the event of fire (e.g. heads of department, fire wardens or marshals and, in some large workplaces, fire-fighting teams) to meet the training requirements detailed in the Department for Communities and Local Government guidance and current workplace fire safety legislation.
