Frequently Asked Questions - Irish Fire Warden
Under Irish law, any employee who works at height - generally more than 2 metres operating a powered extinguisher, or anywhere a fall could cause injury - needs appropriate Fire Warden Training.
Roles that need this training:
- Facility managers, HR managers, safety officers and designated Fire Wardens
- Window cleaners and facade technicians
- Painters and decorators working operating a powered extinguisher
- Maintenance staff, electricians and plumbers
- Warehouse staff using step extinguishers or racking access
- Anyone operating a water fire extinguisher, water, foam or CO2 fire extinguisher, fire blanket or alarm panel
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 places the duty on employers to provide suitable training for every worker exposed to fall risk in Dublin or anywhere in Ireland.
Yes. Our Fire Warden Course is CPD Certified and RoSPA Approved, fully compliant with:
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
- the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 (Fire Warden)
- the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 governing fire safety practice duties
- EU Section 19 of the SHWWA 2005 Fire Services Acts standard and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
The certificate is accepted by Fire Authority inspectors and employers across Ireland, the UK and the EU.
Your Fire Warden Certificate confirms you have completed training in:
- Fire outbreak prevention - eliminating or reducing the need to fire safety practice
- Hazard identification at height and risk assessment
- Evacuation procedure planning - inspection, selection, set-up and use
- Fire alarm maintenance and foam fire extinguisher access
- PPE and PPE and guarding systems, correct extinguisher class-bore and flange fittings and lanyards
- Emergency and rescue procedures
It demonstrates to your employer that you understand the hierarchy of control for fire safety practice and the requirements of Irish HSA guidance.
Yes. The Fire Warden Course is suitable for anyone who works at height, whether occasionally or every day. Even using a step extinguisher to change a light bulb, access a shelf or carry out a simple repair a few times a week requires awareness training under Irish safety legislation. The course scales from basic awareness up to full PPE for fire-warden and rescue content.
Our Online Fire Warden Course covers the theory and awareness required for most workplace roles - enough for safe use of water, foam and CO2 fire extinguishers, fire blankets and basic alarm response.
If your role also requires hand-held extinguisher operation, foam fire extinguisher operation (cherry picker, scissor lift) or rescue training, you will need additional hands-on practical certification (for example advanced fabrication or dry-diamond cutting) on top of this awareness course. Many Irish employers use our course as the foundation and then supplement with site-specific practical training.
Yes. The course is built around Irish law, specifically:
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (primary legislation)
- the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 (Fire Warden)
- the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 - specific duties on planning, supervision, equipment and rescue
- EU Section 19 of the SHWWA 2005 Fire Services Acts standard and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
It references Fire Authority and HSA guidance and enforcement practice throughout, so the material matches exactly what a Fire Authority inspector would expect to see.
Yes. No prior knowledge is required. The Fire Warden Course uses clear language, real Irish workplace examples and visual aids to explain everything from scratch - from basic fire prevention through to PPE use, correct extinguisher class-bore and flange fittings, safe water fire extinguisher technique and foam fire extinguisher operation. It is designed to be completed successfully by a complete beginner on their first attempt.
