Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fire safety training nz.

Is fire safety training required by law in New Zealand?

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, employers must ensure workers can perform work safely. While no regulation mandates a fixed number of training hours, providing practical fire safety training — including extinguisher use and evacuation procedures — is a widely recognised way to meet your duty of care. Many insurers also require documented training.

What does a fire safety training session include?

A typical session covers fire risk awareness, how to select and correctly operate different extinguisher types, evacuation procedures, fire warden roles, and how to respond calmly under pressure. Sessions are customised to your site type and team size.

How long does fire safety training take?

Most workplace fire safety training sessions run between one and three hours depending on team size, the extent of hands-on practice, and whether warden training is included. We advise on the right format during the quote process.

Do you offer fire warden training separately?

Yes. Fire warden preparation can be delivered as a standalone session or alongside general staff training. It covers emergency leadership, evacuation coordination, sweep procedures, and communicating with emergency services.

Do you provide fire safety training in Christchurch?

Yes. We deliver fire safety training across New Zealand including Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region. Contact us with your team size and site details for a tailored free quote.
