British Safety Council Certificate in Fire and Risk Management British Safety Services
Price: KWD 220

    Course details

    Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, now law since 1st October 2006, it is no longer the Fire Service’s duty to make sure the workplace is safe. That duty now lies with the employer, and specifically ‘the responsible person', and they will be held accountable under the new legislation. The BSC level 2 certificate in Fire Risk Assessment provides the formal recognition of an individual’s ability to undertake a fire risk assessment in line with the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE’s) guidance. Accredited by the QCA at level 2 in the National Qualification Framework.
