No you cannot nominate people who are not your direct employees.

You can (in consultation with their employer) invite volunteers from businesses within a shared environment.

Either way (employee or volunteer) they retain the right to withdraw their personal service.

Yes, the Responsible Person (RP) of a building with shared occupancy can nominate personnel from companies other than their own to act as a fire marshal or fire safety representative. The RP has a duty to ensure that adequate fire safety arrangements are in place, which can include designating fire marshals or similar roles.

However, the nominated person does have the right to decline the role of responsibility. Being a fire marshal involves specific duties and responsibilities related to fire safety, and the individual must agree to take on these duties voluntarily. If someone is nominated but feels they do not have the necessary training, experience, or willingness to fulfill the role effectively, they can refuse the position. It’s important that any fire marshal is both capable and willing to undertake the responsibilities to ensure proper fire safety management in the building.
