Fire Mashall/Warden


Aim of the course

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires employers to have a strategy to evacuate all occupants within a building. The legislation implements a risk-based approach to fire safety in community, industrial and business premises and requires the employer, owner or occupier (known as the 'responsible person') to carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement appropriate fire precautionary and protection measures, and to maintain a fire management plan.

As part of the Fire Management Plan, businesses should provide a sufficient number of nominated Fire Marshalls/Wardens who will have undergone the appropriate training to fulfil their role. Aside from taking charge of the evacuation of people from a premises the identification of fire hazards is key to successful fire prevention. If you are unsure of how many Fire Marshalls your business requires please call us.
