Your Obligation
As the owner, occupier or manager of a building, you are legally responsible for the safety of all people in the building in the event of a fire or other emergency. According to legislation, it’s your duty to appoint and train a Fire Safety Advisor.
What is a Fire Safety Advisor?
- A Fire Safety Advisor is the person who is trained to quickly evacuate a building during an emergency (including fire).
- The person you appoint as Fire Safety Advisor MUST have a Building Fire Safety Qualification which is current (issued within the last 3 years).
- Your Fire Safety Advisor must be familiar with the evacuation procedures for your building, and able to give evacuation instructions to all wardens in the building during an emergency.
