Responsible person, marshals and wardens
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO), the person with overall responsibility for fire safety is termed the Responsible Person. The responsible person in most cases is the facilities manager or the fire safety officer, if one is appointed. Article 18 of the RRFSO makes a further requirement for the responsible person to appoint one or more competent persons to assist in this function and to assist in the event of evacuation (Article 15(1)(b)).
To ensure competence, adequate safety training must be provided. The purpose of this article is to identify what is considered to adequate with regards to health and safety training. It will cover the general requirements, as specific risks are determined by the particular activities being carried out on site and the premises used. Specific requirements should be identified in the fire risk assessment. Competence is more than just knowledge, it also involves experience, personal authority and training. Much of this cannot be taught, so this article will concentrate on areas of knowledge and training that can and must be provided by the employer.

The Two Roles
The competent person will undertake one of two roles. As there are no definitive titles for these two roles, the terms fire marshal and fire warden will be used and explained.
The fire marshal should take overall responsibility for the co-ordination of information and the necessary decisions to ensure the safety of people and the property during an emergency or an evacuation. In short, that person will be in control in an emergency. The fire marshal should relinquish responsibility to a senior officer from the emergency services on request, but remain on site to provide information as and when required. In reality, the fire marshal is most likely to be the responsible person or a direct deputy, as that person is most likely to have the necessary competence, ie knowledge, experience, training and authority.
The other role, the fire warden, should be filled by the appointed competent person. The fire warden should take responsibility for local fire safety, the knowledge and awareness of people in the area and ensure that the area is completely clear in the event of an emergency evacuation.
It is important that the fire marshal is competent in both roles as he or she is required to undertake and/or supervise both. However, the fire marshal is not expected to undertake the duties of fire warden in an evacuation, as this would compromise that person's ability to carry out the controlling function effectively.
