Posted By Stuart Scott The important thing is not put the fire wardens at further risk, i.e. they should not be asked to re enter areas once a fire alarm has been activated. Which means, as you rightly say that they should not be asked to check other floors. The best way to deal with this is ensure that all members of staff understand what to do, so that anyone of them could act as a potential fire warden if required. This is presuming that the public are not allowed on the upper floors with out some sort of staff precence? If they are allowed in the area with out any form of staff precence then you open up a whole new can of worms.
