What’s the deal with Fire Safety?
Current legislation, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, applies to all workplaces regardless of the number of employees and requires employers to provide adequate training in fire awareness for all members of their staff. All types of training in Fire Safety can reduce the risk of fire-related incidents as it means people are prepared to take action.
Although the legislations calls for fire awareness, the more in-depth training your employees have, the lower the chances of substantial damage there will be as a result of fire. Having Fire Marshals decreases risk and increases safety.
"Most fires are preventable. Those responsible for workplaces and other buildings to which the public have access can avoid them by taking responsibility for and adopting the right behaviours and procedures." - HSE.GOV.UK
Fire marshals (sometimes known as fire wardens) are civilians trained to assist in emergency fire evacuation procedures at businesses and other organizations.
It is a legal obligation that workplaces must have a sufficient number of fire marshals to deal with fire emergencies.
