Fire wardens are those staff members that would normally know the general layout of premises, the location and operation of fire-fighting /fire detection equipment such as fire extinguishers, hoses and break glass units (where fitted), along with the location of emergency exits.

There should be an adequate number available per floor, to sweep that floor quickly and efficiently.

Also one would want to factor in additional numbers for contingency purposes to include fire wardens being out of position or absent for example.

Fire Wardens can be any member of staff but ideally they should be spread out evenly across the building covering all specific locations.
What training should a Fire Warden have?
