Fire Marshal Duties

Fire Marshals play a vital role in both prevention and response. Daily responsibilities may include checking escape routes and extinguishers, reporting faults, ensuring fire doors are working properly, and coordinating routine fire drills.

In the event of a fire, they must lead a calm, efficient evacuation, checking all areas are clear, supporting vulnerable individuals, and communicating with the emergency services. This course gives you the skills and confidence to manage both day-to-day tasks and high-pressure incidents.

How Many Fire Marshals Does a Business Need?

There’s no fixed number, it depends on your environment. A fire risk assessment will determine how many trained marshals are needed based on:

• Building size and layout
• Number of occupants and their mobility needs
• Type of business activity
• Shift patterns and floor coverage
  
  

   

If you’re unsure, we can help arrange a compliant fire risk assessment for your site.

Training Frequency

Initial training is essential, but knowledge can fade. That’s why refresher training is recommended annually, or sooner if there are changes to your premises, staff, or procedures. Regular fire drills should also be part of your ongoing compliance plan.
