As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create a fire safety training course.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 2 hours until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current fire risk assessment, emergency plan, fire action notices and relevant workplace policies, then gather the premises layout, alarm arrangements, assembly points, extinguisher types, fire warden roles and arrangements for anyone needing assistance.
   2. Ask the responsible person or competent fire safety adviser which staff groups must complete the training and which procedures are approved for each site, shift and working pattern.
   3. Paste the gathered workplace details and approved source extracts into the prompt, replacing each bracketed slot and removing information that does not apply.
   4. Run the prompt in a chatbot and save the generated lesson plan, teaching notes, slides, scenarios, knowledge check and verification list as separate working documents.
   5. Compare every site-specific instruction in the draft with the current fire risk assessment, emergency plan, fire action notices and local procedures, deleting anything that cannot be confirmed.
   6. Send the checked draft to the responsible person or competent fire safety adviser and ask them to approve the technical content, evacuation arrangements, accessibility provisions and assessment answers before delivery.
   7. Deliver the approved course to the relevant staff, record attendance and knowledge-check results, and replace the materials when the fire risk assessment or workplace procedures change.

   Prompt

   Create a UK workplace fire safety training course for [type of workplace] at [number and type of premises]. Use only the workplace information and source extracts I provide, and do not invent procedures, equipment, legal duties, evacuation routes, assembly points or risk controls. The audience is [job roles], including [any visitors, contractors, night workers, disabled workers or other relevant groups]. The course must cover: how to raise the alarm, what to do on discovering a fire, evacuation and assembly arrangements, roles of fire wardens and other staff, arrangements for people who may need assistance, extinguisher safety without encouraging untrained use, emergency contacts, reporting and refresher arrangements. Separate general fire safety principles from details that must be confirmed against the premises fire risk assessment and current workplace procedures. Produce: 1) learning objectives, 2) a timed lesson plan, 3) plain-English teaching notes, 4) slide-by-slide content, 5) realistic workplace scenarios, 6) a short knowledge check with answers, 7) a trainer checklist, and 8) a list of every item that a responsible person or competent fire safety adviser must verify before delivery. Flag any missing information, uncertainty or point requiring professional advice. Do not claim that completing this course proves legal compliance. Here are the workplace details: [paste details]. Here are the current fire risk assessment, emergency procedures and approved source extracts: [paste documents or extracts].
