Employers Responsibilities

Employers are responsible for four legal duties:

• Where it is necessary to safeguard the safety of your employees, you must nominate people to undertake any special roles which are required under the emergency plan.
• You must consult your employees about this nomination of people to carry out particular fire safety roles.
• You must inform other employees who also have workplaces in the building of any significant risks you found that might affect their safety.
• You must establish a suitable means of contacting the emergency services, and ensure that they can be called easily.
