First-response team member (EPI) – Response team member

Fire safety training is compulsory every year for all staff, in accordance with Articles R4227-28 to R4227-39 of the Labour Code. It is generally carried out in-house by the employer or by a designated competent member of staff, and covers staff information, knowledge of procedures, the use of first-aid equipment and the annual evacuation drill. 

Fire prevention experts and health and safety committees recommend having one first-response team member for every 10 employees and at least one first-response team member per building, floor or high-risk area.

It is also advisable to train between 20 and 30 per cent of staff to ensure sufficient response capacity.

An annual 4-hour refresher course is recommended to maintain the operational skills of first-response team members.

• To enable team members to adopt a preventative mindset and learn fire-fighting techniques. To define the role of safety team members.
• To familiarise participants with the company’s alarm and emergency alert systems, fire-fighting equipment and the procedures to follow during an evacuation.
• Master the fundamentals of fire safety.
• Know how to raise the alarm. 

• a evacuation drill (lead-the-way, bring-up-the-rear),
• an introduction to the fire safety system (reading the control panel, zones, faults, securing the premises),
• additional fire extinguisher training,
• or to direct staff towards further training: SSIAP (public buildings/high-rise buildings), Occupational Health and Safety (SST), electrical accreditation

Upon completion of the training, the safety log is updated to reflect the activities actually carried out, and a personalised certificate is issued to each participant:

• PPE training,
• evacuation drills,
• fire safety awareness,
• use of fire extinguishers
