Fire Marshal or Fire Warden – What's the Difference?
In many UK workplaces, the terms fire marshal and fire warden are used interchangeably for employees who have been given specific fire-safety responsibilities. The exact title used by an organisation may differ, but both commonly involve helping to prevent fires, supporting emergency arrangements and assisting with safe evacuation. This course covers the knowledge required for the role whether your workplace refers to you as a Fire Marshal or Fire Warden.
Fire Marshal Training and UK Fire Safety Law
Employers and other responsible persons have duties to manage fire safety and provide appropriate information and training under UK fire-safety legislation. In England and Wales, the principal legislation governing fire safety in non-domestic premises is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire Marshal training helps nominated employees understand their role within the organisation's fire-safety and emergency arrangements. The number of fire marshals required will depend on factors such as the workplace, number and location of occupants, working patterns and the findings of the fire risk assessment.
