How many fire wardens do I need?

The amount of fire wardens necessary for your property depends on a number of factors: the number of floors, the number of staff, the type of workplace and the layout of the property. These factors combined will determine the level of risk in your property – low, medium or high.

For low risk properties, you should have one warden for every 50 people. For medium and high risk premises, you should have one warden for every 20 and 15 people respectively. You can find out about the duties of a fire warden here.
