Is fire marshal courses a legal requirement? Who is responsible for fire safety at workplace?

Yes, fire marshal training is a legal requirement. Both, the employees and employers have legal duties to perform in a potential emergency of fire as well as to prevent fire accidents.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005  covers general fire safety in England and Wales.

In the majority of premises, local fire and rescue authorities are responsible for enforcing this fire safety legislation. HSE has enforcement responsibility on construction sites, for nuclear premises, and on ships under construction or undergoing repair.

The responsible person is: someone who is responsible for the premises used for business, charity or voluntary purposes, an employer, landlord or the owner of houses that have multiple occupancy, including blocks of flats (in England and Wales only). The duties of the responsible person must carry out includes a Fire Safety Risk Assessment (FSRA) and implementing the appropriate fire safety measures for prevention and protection in the event of a fire. It is also their responsibility to make sure all equipment is well-maintained and checked regularly. The responsible person may delegate jobs, but ultimately the responsibility will always lie with the one deemed the “responsible person” for the premises.

 

Businesses should also have a “competent person” (or ideally, more than one) who has undergone all of the training required to be able to safely handle fire equipment and assist the responsible person in carrying out the FRSA and planning procedures.

 

The employees of a business also have legal duties to perform in the event of a fire, in accordance to the FSO and Health and Safety at Work Act (1974). Employees must act appropriately and not put themselves or colleagues and visitors at risk, be co-operative with the fire procedures in place and report any suspected dangers, such as exposed wires.
