Fire Wardens

All staff will now have the role to be Fire Wardens for their building and have an important proactive role in fire prevention.  They should 'take ownership' of the areas around their offices and monitor their evacuation routes day-to-day and immediately report to Campus Services (or remove as appropriate) objects that present a fire safety risk (such as combustible rubbish, fire doors wedged open, fire evacuation routes compromised e.g. by furniture being 'temporarily' stored in corridors, anything that might impede the opening of fire escape doors).

They should become familiar with the fire fighting equipment in their areas and report to Campus Services if equipment vanishes or if extinguisher tags are broken.  They must also check that the Evac Cards and Hi Viz jackets are present in their holders - if not then report the situation to the HS&E office immediately.
