Premises with a large number of building occupants or, have areas of responsibility on various floors within a shared building(s) would require to have trained fire marshals, who would oversee / implement fire safety procedures, prevention, building evacuation and carry out first aid fire fighting. It may also be necessary to nominate a senior person e.g. a safety officer or senior manager, to be responsible for all aspects of fire safety including training, overseeing fire contracts (e.g. fire equipment maintenance) and record keeping. The "senior person" would ensure fire drills and fire training is implemented at the correct intervals
