is there training to be had for this post, is there more money too, and do you have to wear a big yellow hat:xxgrinning--00xx3:
no serious ask him what it involves and what he expects from you to do this

Hello Stevewool yes there is a training next week but I'm planning not to attend...

It sounds like it's over and above your contract of work, however maybe don't worry too much or dismiss it yet.
The fire wardens at my work, all they have to do is check designated areas are empty should the fire alarm go - and they get to wear a very fetching yellow jacket, the sort you can buy in the poundshop.

Feather in your cap for your yearly appraisals (If you get them - you can say you have taken on this extra responsibility).
See what they say

i am the first aid person at our works, did i want it NO i did not but i thought it may come in handy one day knowing first aid and being properly trained too,
if you are being paid for going on the course or its in work, if i was you i would go for it, it may come in handy for your future,
just my thoughts

Hiya, do you mind if I ask the reason why you don't want to do it?

[sars_notd_virus]

I wouldnt say no to any trainings they conduct from work , who knows it might be helpful someday.

I wouldn't panic about it. I'm sure the training will leave you feeling a lot more confident about the position :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well done :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Keep up the good work.
Never turn down any opportunities for training and further development. These opportunities can help both the employer and also can help you in many ways.

No way can they sack you for refusing, and if they did you would be laughing all the way to the bank, just tell them why you dont want to do it and they have to help you,but hay its no big deal doing it as when it happens all the best plans will go to rat poo,:cwm23:
