Could someone clarify the exact legal requirements for staff undertaking Fire Training please? I beleive it should be twice a year for most staff and four times a year for those working nights. Is this correct? Can anyone also clarify what exactly this training should incurr i.e. is it realting solely to evacuation drills or is it more formal training?
