In every business and public building you need to have designated fire marshals and fire wardens who are members of staff or volunteers who have received the correct training. It means they’re able to help you keep on top of your fire safety duties, as well as assisting with an emergency to keep a calm head and ensure everyone remains safe.
But fire safety does not stop at the doors of your premises. If you were to hold a family fun day for employees Bonfire night party, and you’ll need fire wardens or fire marshals to keep everyone who is present safe. Construction workers and other outside-based staff will need fire protection just as much as their colleagues inside, so make sure your fire wardens can be seen, heard and understood by providing them with the correct equipment.

Fire Protection Online’s range of high visibility items for your fire staff ensures that they are easily spotted when they are needed most. Our hi-vis vest meets safety standard EN471, class 2, and has Velcro for easy fastening. Our fire warden vest also has reflective bands and a reflective “Fire Warden” or “Fire Marshal” badge, unlike some cheaper waistcoats available, so your fire warden can been seen in almost any light. Combine this with a pair of reflective fire warden or fire marshal armbands for maximum effect.
Fire Warden Lighting: Let Them See
Sometimes, you need to see in the dark quickly, and there may not be a torch to hand. Our 12-hour safety lightsticks are activated with a simple bend, snap and shake, for instant light. Once activated, you can hang these long-lasting, non-toxic and non-heat generating lightsticks onto clothing for additional recognition of key staff in low light levels. Also, thanks to their Sure fasten Hook, you can hang them on rope barriers or potential obstructions to give advance warning of potential hazards.
Fire Marshals: Let Them Be Heard
Unless your fire marshal is a professional town crier, it is unlikely that in an open-air environment or busy situation, their voice will be heard unaided. So, give them a boost with our 25W megaphone, so instructions can be issued clearly and calmly in an emergency situation. Remember, if the power goes, so does your outdoor PA and alarm system, so a battery-powered megaphone is an excellent backup device.
Fire Marshals: Sound An Alarm
The same principal applies to your emergency alarm; if the power fails, you may need a quick and direct alarm to alert people to danger. A fire gas horn is a low-tech solution with incredible power; a single blast of the horn can be heard almost a mile away. Easy to carry and easy to use, they are an ideal solution in noisy surroundings or workplaces. Our emergency whistles are equally effective in attracting attention, and are a cheap solution to providing all your fire marshals with an instant means of communication.
