An employers obligations to their staff is:

- Theory of fire.
- Action in the event of fire.
- Action upon hearing a fire alarm.
- Fire prevention.

Premises with a large number of occupants would require to have trained fire marshals who would oversee building evacuation, fire prevention, 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.
