What is a Fire Marshal?
A fire marshal, or fire warden, plays a key role in fire prevention and the safe evacuation of a building in an emergency.
Fires happen. If your workplace ever faces a fire emergency, having a designated fire warden, appropriately trained, could be key to a good outcome.
Although it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure precautions are in place, it is the role of the fire marshal to run drills and undertake regular fire prevention checks.
