Glossary / Fire safety

Fire safety

Workplace fire safety covers preventing fires, detecting them early, and evacuating people safely.

In plain English

Fire safety at work means reducing ignition and fuel risks, keeping detection and alarms reliable, maintaining escape routes, and making sure people know what to do if a fire starts.

Fire risk assessment

Responsible persons need to understand fire hazards, people at risk, and the measures in place—from extinguishers to assembly points—and keep that assessment current.

Roles

Fire wardens or marshals often support evacuation, check zones and report issues. Training should match the building and the role.
