A Fire Warden plays a critical role in workplace fire safety, ensuring emergency preparedness, conducting routine risk checks, guiding safe evacuation, and coordinating with emergency responders during incidents. Most fires start from electrical faults, overloaded circuits, flammable materials, human negligence, and poor housekeeping, making hazard identification essential. Fire spreads through conduction (heat through materials), convection (heat via air flow), and radiation (heat waves), so prevention includes maintaining equipment, safe storage, and clear escape routes. Fire wardens must understand fire extinguisher types (water, CO₂, foam, dry powder) and apply the PASS method — Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep — only on manageable fires. Effective emergency evacuation procedures, alarm awareness, assembly point control, and assisting vulnerable individuals reduce panic and injuries. Practicing fire safety drills, proper signage, no-smoking policies, and regular training builds a strong fire prevention culture and minimizes fire risk in any facility.
