Out of approximately 316 fire-related deaths, most casualties were due to the inhalation of toxic gasses that the fire produces, in the latest year that data is available. About a quarter of the fire-related fatalities were due to burns, according to Intelligent Security & Fire.
Any occurrence of a fire can be potentially devastating. In certain cases, neither the people nor the organisation can recover from the damages or the psychological effects of a fire.
Prioritising the highest risk control measures for a fire is, therefore, a critical task for fire wardens and fire marshals. It is their responsibility to ensure that suitable controls are in place and working to prevent a fire, and – should a fire occur – that the organisation and staff can respond appropriately to minimise the loss of life and property.
The average financial loss from a workplace fire is £657,074
A fire occurring within any building can be dangerous and devastating. To avoid casualties or damages, fire safety laws and regulations are in place.
The fire warden’s duty is to ensure that these are met and followed to the letter. Wardens also consider the mitigation of additional fire safety risks within an organisation.
Fire warden course prepares designated employees with the knowledge and skills required to prevent and respond to fires in the workplace.
This course covers topics such as: the role of fire wardens, how fires start and methods of prevention, fire safety equipment, fire drills, the principles of evacuation and how to extinguish fires. Providing an appropriate level of training will mean employees are able to undertake the duties of a fire warden effectively.
The responsibilities of fire wardens are:
1. Preventing Fires
Fire Wardens must monitor fire hazards and work to prevent fires from happening in the first place through regular checks, inspections and assisting fire risk assessments.
2. Evacuating Personnel in a Fire Emergency
All personnel should be evacuated from the premises in a fire emergency through proper fire exits. Fire wardens have to aid any workers, visitors and anyone unfamiliar with the evacuation routes.
3. Extinguishing Fires When Possible
Trained fire wardens can fight small fires to prevent their spread or create safe evacuation routes.
If you are an employer, you have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of any employees, contractors or visitors on site. This must include providing an adequate level of fire safety training, as well as appointing fire wardens. Some areas that training must cover include:

Fire warden and fire marshal are similar roles, but their duties and responsibilities are not exactly the same when it comes to fire safety.
A fire warden is an employee designated by the employer to assist with fire safety and emergency response procedures. Some primary duties of a fire warden include conducting fire safety inspections, reporting any concerns to the management and assisting with implementing fire safety plans and evacuation procedures.
Fire marshal is a more senior role and is usually held by a manager or a trained fire professional. Their primary duties include conducting fire risk assessments, developing fire safety plans and supervising employee fire safety training and fire drills.
This online fire warden course takes around 30 minutes to complete. However, for an in-depth understanding of this role, we recommend you explore our other fire related course content, including Fire Risk Assessment training.
Once you have completed this training, you will receive a fire warden certification that needs to be renewed with refresher training every three years.
Employers must appoint a suitable number of responsible persons to act as fire wardens for their workplace. Anyone tasked with fire warden duties is required to complete sufficient training.
