How many Fire Marshals do we need at one time?
A commercial workplace should consult its Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) to determine how many Fire Marshals are required. In general terms, a low-risk workplace requires one Fire Marshal per 50 people. This should also consider the covering of holidays, sicknesses and other absences. The size of the building, usage and presence of vulnerable people may significantly increase the number of Fire Marshals and trained staff that are required.
Are Fire Marshals expected to tackle a workplace fire?
The role of a Fire Marshal is to ensure safe and orderly evacuation and raise the alarm in the event of a fire. If they are suitably trained and confident to, they may tackle a very small fire in, for example, a small waste bin. However, they must never put themselves in any danger, as their role in assisting others is their primary objective.
