Fire Safety Training for Hotel Night Staff
Refresh legal duties around fire safety at night and learn how to evacuate guests safely when staffing levels are at their lowest.
- CPD Accredited
What this course covers
Fire safety overnight differs sharply from daytime cover, since guests are often asleep and unfamiliar with the building while the team on duty is smallest. This programme prepares night porters, receptionists and duty managers to respond effectively, covering alarm systems, prevention checks and the specific pressures of a night shift.
Learners also cover how to assist guests with mobility, hearing or visual impairments during an evacuation, and when it is safe to use an extinguisher rather than evacuate. The course supports hotels in meeting their duties under fire safety law around the clock.
