Question: What is required of a fire warden within our body Corporate?
Answer: The responsibilities of a fire warden are dependent on the building’s emergency procedure.
There is no simple answer to this question. In general, the responsibilities of a fire warden are dependent on the building’s emergency procedure. These may be different depending on the type of occupancy and the building size and height.
As part of the emergency control organisation, the warden should be familiar with what to do if an emergency situation occurs. Depending on the emergency, the warden should implement the emergency procedure and communicate the relevant information with the other members of the emergency control organisation. The warden should also be familiar with the operation of any fire safety installation within the building. Wardens should also partake in any pre/post emergency meetings.
