Re-doing our fire policy and instead of having one named person on the policy that the roll callers report to I am changing it so that they report to the most Senior Director or Manager on site at the time, does anyone foresee any problems with this.

NO - it gives ownership and there is always a senior person present
NB: Many managers will not like it

It is always much better to use a job title that a named person to take into account the appointments of deputies to cover leave, sickness etc.

Not quite certain of the size of your organisation but in many multi-tenanted commercial office blocks we have fire wardens who will always ultimately report to the designated fire marshal. The latter appointment differs of course on occasions but it is always a trained individual with quality knowledge.
We also refer to them as the appointed or competent person ... internally. Rank has nothing to do with it for our many properties, it simply evolves round their competency to undertake the task.
Right or wrong (in some eyes perhaps) but it works perfectly for us - and has done for many years.
All the best

Thanks for all your thoughts, its around 150 staff, 4 connecting warehouses and a number of offices, its the problem of cover for holidays, off site, sickness etc that's made me go down this road.

Larry, the problem is what happens when the fire service arrive. Will the person that receives the wardens reports know who to go to and what to say and do? Training all the senior managers may help.
