If you have been asked to be a Fire Marshal in your workplace, just do it, the course makes you think and take stock at home and on holiday too. Most fires are preventable. Those responsible for workplaces and other buildings to which the public have access can avoid them by taking responsibility for and adopting the right behaviours and procedures.
Employers must carry out a fire risk assessment and keep it up to date. Based on the findings of the assessment employers must ensure there adequate and appropriate safety measures in place to minimise the risk of a fire.
Remember a fire needs 3 things to start…
1- a source of heat (ignition)
2- a source of fuel (something that burns)
3- oxygen
To ensure the risks are kept to a minimum:-
1- keep sources of ignition and flammable substances apart
2- avoid accidental fires, for example make sure heaters cannot be knocked over
3- ensure good housekeeping at all times, for example avoid build-up of rubbish that could burn
