About this Event
Every business in Northern Ireland is required to have trained Fire Wardens. In an emergency, these are the people who take charge — raising the alarm, leading evacuations, assisting vulnerable occupants, and liaising with the Fire & Rescue Service.
Could your team carry out this responsibility effectively if the alarm sounded today?
This interactive 3-hour workshop gives Fire Wardens the essential knowledge and hands-on practice they need to respond with confidence. Delivered by Diamond Systems — life safety and security specialists since 1987 — it combines compliance, practical demonstrations, and real-world learning.
