Fire Safety Awareness & First Aid Training

Fire Safety Awareness & First Aid Training Courses Globally

When clients visit a hotel they expect a safe environment with a high level of fire security and medical security. If an incident does occur, it can be very damaging to the hotel company and could result in prosecution of managers if the hotel didn't have the right training, equipment and facilities in place to deal with emergencies. It is therefore crucial to ensure that all staff are trained to be able to handle incidents. At the end of the day, staying safe is simply a matter of being prepared!

MJ FINCH Fire Safety Awareness & First Aid Instructors are available to travel to hotels anywhere in the world to assist clients with establishing training programmes and designing response procedures for fire and medical emergencies. Our instructors ensure that trainees receive personal attention and any areas of concern are addressed during their training, giving reassurance and increased confidence for when they are involved in an emergency situation.

Fire Safety Risk Assessments

We offer our services and expertise as Fire Safety Risk Consultants using highly qualified and experienced staff, to carry out Fire Safety Risk Assessments and Fire Investigations.

A Fire Safety Risk Assessment is an organised and methodical look at the premises, the activities within the premises, the potential for a fire to occur and the harm it could cause to the people in and around the premises. The existing fire safety measures are evaluated to establish whether they are adequate or if more requires to be done.

Flammable substances and other fire risks can be found, in varying quantities and locations, in all hotels. Hotel operators and managers are required to ensure that fire safety risks are eliminated or, where this is not reasonably practicable, to take measures to control risks and to reduce the harmful effects of any fire, explosion or similar event, so far as is reasonably practicable (mitigation).

A Fire Safety Risk Assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as complying with the law. Once the Fire Safety Risk Assessment has been carried out, the main findings are recorded and we can then work together to create a Fire Safety Policy for your hotel utilising company policies and procedures, promoting a safe environment in and around your premises.

First Aid Appointed Persons Training

Hotel operators and management are responsible for ensuring that guests, visitors, employees and contractors receive immediate attention if they are taken ill or are injured whilst at the hotel. The way to ensure this is to have appropriate numbers of suitably trained "First Aid Appointed Persons".

Our First Aid Appointed Persons Training course combines theoretical knowledge and practical sessions designed to develop ability and, most importantly, practical confidence. The course will include the following topics:

  • Aims of First Aid
  • First Aid Kits & Equipment
  • Diagnosis & Casualty Examination
  • Levels of Consciousness
  • Epileptic Fits
  • CPR / Choking
  • Bleeding
  • Heart Attack
  • Head Injuries
  • Shock
  • Fractures
  • Eye Injuries
  • Hypoglycaemia
  • Poisoning
  • Burns & Scalds

To help keep first aid skills up to date, it is strongly recommended that First Aid Appointed Persons undertake this training course annually.

Where appropriate, MJ FINCH training courses can go beyond basic First Aid and CPR to cover the more serious injuries which First Aid Appointed Persons may have to deal with in the aftermath of a large-scale incident including a terrorist attack, such as severe head injuries, trauma care, ballistic injuries and casualty handling.
