Fire Safety Awareness Mock Test
Free fire safety mock test for UK electricians, built on the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (England and Wales), the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and HSE guidance. 30 questions from a 150-question bank covering fire law and the responsible person, fire risk assessment and the site fire plan, electrical causes of fire, temporary electrics and hot work, raising the alarm and escaping when you are working, choosing an extinguisher and using it only if trained and safe to do so, fire-fighter's switches, and RIDDOR after a fire. A practice paper only: it is not an awarded qualification and is not fire marshal training.

Sample questions
01Your firm takes on a fit-out of an office in Glasgow. Which law sets the general fire safety duties for that job?
- APart 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and its regulations
- BNo fire law at all, as the work is only a short fit-out
- CThe Fire Safety Order, but enforced by HSE in Scotland
- DThe Fire Safety Order, as it covers all of Great Britain
Why: The Fire Safety Order says it extends to England and Wales only. HSE explains that in Scotland general fire safety is covered by Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, supported by the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Order does not reach Scotland under a different enforcer, and a short job is not outside fire law.
02Which group of people does the Order leave out of its definition of "relevant persons"?
- AMembers of the public lawfully using the premises
- BVisiting contractors who are working on the premises
- CFirefighters while carrying out their fire and rescue duties
- DNeighbours in the immediate vicinity at risk from a fire
Why: Relevant persons are anyone who is or may be lawfully on the premises, and anyone in the immediate vicinity at risk from a fire there. The Order excludes firefighters while they carry out their fire and rescue duties. Contractors, the public and neighbours at risk are all inside the definition.
03You are fitting a new supply to a detached garage used only by the family who live in the house beside it. Does the Fire Safety Order apply to the garage?
- AYes, because the garage is a separate building from the house
- BOnly while the electrician is working inside the garage itself
- CNo, a garage that goes with a private home is domestic premises
- DYes, because any garage counts as a workplace under the Order
Why: The Order defines domestic premises as premises occupied as a private dwelling, including a garage or outhouse that is not used in common by more than one dwelling, and article 6 leaves domestic premises out. Being a separate building does not change that, and your being there as a contractor does not make it a workplace under the Order.
