I was advised recently that in a fire evacuation situation, assembly point roll calls are no longer required, but that fire wardens are allocated areas to carry out a sweep to ensure that all employees have evacuated the building. They then report to the fire service on arrival on areas which have been "swept" or not. This is so that the fire service can target areas where potentially it is known where there may be personnel unaccounted for ?

It has never been a requirement it all depends on your fire safety strategy and your fire evacuation policy. The most important consideration is that it works and should be tested by practical methods. (Fire Drills)

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution. Scotland and Northern Ireland has differing legislation
