How often should refresher training for FEP staff be conducted?

Refresher training for Fire Emergency Planning (FEP) staff is essential to ensure they remain knowledgeable about fire safety protocols and alarm systems. Conducting this training every three months strikes a balance between providing frequent updates while still allowing staff to retain the information. This regular interval ensures that staff can stay current with any changes in procedures, regulations, or technologies related to fire safety and emergency response. It also helps to reinforce their skills, which is crucial in maintaining a prepared and responsive environment, particularly in settings such as homeless shelters where the safety of residents is a top priority.
