Fire Training

Schools: If you require access to watch the annual online fire training modules, please view the modules available through the EEC Health and safety website. For staff that do not require access to all the applications available on EEC, the system allows for users to be created with a ‘fire training only’ status giving them access to the site purely to watch and have a record that they have completed the training.

Corporate: SCC staff are required to undertake the annual fire awareness training which is provided on the Learning Centre. Modules including the Fire safety 2021 e-learning course should be completed by all staff as a means of maintaining your fire compliance.
