Information and training<br />
All tenants must ensure that their employees, visitors<br />
and contractors are familiar with emergency and<br />
evacuation procedures<br />
• All staff should familiarise themselves with the<br />
following:<br />
• Location of break glass points<br />
• Location of fire exits<br />
• Action to be taken in the event of fire<br />
• Location of fire fighting equipment and methods of<br />
operation<br />
Fire Action Notices are affixed at all exits and adjacent<br />
to all break-glasses.<br />
<strong>Tenant</strong> Fire Wardens<br />
Each tenant should designate their own fire wardens<br />
for each floor with two overall fire marshals acting on<br />
behalf of the company. Details of the designated fire<br />
wardens should be provided to the Facilities Manager.<br />
<strong>Tenant</strong>s must ensure their fire wardens have received<br />
suitable training.<br />
Fire Extinguishers<br />
Fire extinguishers are situated throughout <strong>Fothergill</strong><br />
<strong>House</strong>. On common part areas, all occupiers should<br />
take care to ensure that the fire extinguishers within<br />
their own tenanted areas are in their proper place and<br />
regularly maintained. Occupiers are responsible for the<br />
testing and maintenance of these. They should<br />
arrange for them to be tested at least once a year by a<br />
competent person in accordance with the relevant<br />
British Standard Code of Practice.<br />
Under no circumstances must fire extinguishers be<br />
used to prop doors open. Please also remember that<br />
the use of fire extinguishers, in an emergency, is a last<br />
resort, and not an alternative to evacuating the<br />
building.<br />
