Service Description: The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, Fire Safety Enforcement Officers, deal with all aspects of fire safety on business premises. If you are an employer, you should make sure you and your staff know what to do to prevent a fire in the workplace and how to escape if a fire does break out.

Answer: Any person (including the responsible person) who is lawfully on the premises and any person in the vicinity of the premises who may be affected by a fire on the premises. This means, for example, that if you store substances that are explosive when exposed to fire, you may need to consider the occupants of nearby buildings if they could be affected by an explosion or by any exclusion zone or cordon set up by the fire service because of the danger of explosion.
