I have watched the Fire Safety Level 2 video more than once.
How do I self-declare to stop the non-compliance message?
See "The self-declaration isn't working. What do I do?".
It might be that the network dropped while you were completing the assessment or self-declaration.
In this case, please try again (only once or twice), using the above troubleshooting tips.
Then see our contact advice to help us help you further.

Please do not repeat anything that still has not worked.
Sometimes, trying again is all you need, but trying more than a few times is unlikely to help.
Try a different internet browser, device, or logging out and back in.
These quick fixes save you time and patience.
Sometimes they solve the problem, too.

What do I need to do for Fire Safety Level 3?
Is this different from Fire Safety Level 2?
Fire Safety Level 3 enhanced practical simulation training is required annually for
colleagues working in areas caring for very high dependency patients.
In this training, colleagues concentrate on enhanced practical training so that they can demonstrate
how to evacuate very high dependency patients during a fire emergency.
This enhanced practical training, Fire Safety Level 3, is required for all colleagues working in
areas caring for very high dependency patients, namely:
• Operating Theatres RBTH and BGTH
• Day Surgery BGTH and RBTH
• Critical Care A, B and C (B20) RBTH
• Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) BGTH
Practical scenario / simulation-based training session planned and delivered by those areas caring for high dependency patients.

- This training can be included as part of audit days.
It should form part of a rolling training programme to allow both new and existing staff the opportunity to access the training. - You can seek support with planning and delivery of Level 3 training from the Trust’s Fire Safety Advisor, Duncan Emmett ([email protected]).
I just did Fire Safety last year.
Why do I have to do it again?
The course requires annual renewal for staff who work in or provide care in a clinical environment.
If it has been almost 12 months, then you must review the material to remain compliant.
If you work in a non-clinical environment, then you must renew your training within 2 years (or 24 months).
