Fire Safety Roles and Responsibilities 

Aylesbury Methodist Church and Centre 

It is the responsibility of anyone within the building, on detecting a fire, to raise the alarm.

·         The person detecting the fire, is responsible for raising the alarm.

·         The alarm can be raised by use of one of the fire alarm call points

·         The activation of a fire alarm point will result in the emergency services being called.

Roles and responsibilities defined for organisations using the buildings other than for Methodist Church Services
(This includes other religious organisations using the main Church for public acts of Worship)

·         A minimum of one person, usually the organisation leader, or meeting organiser, will be responsible for ensuring that they have cleared the building in the event of an evacuation.

·         All organisations using the AMC buildings, including the main Church, have a responsibility to be aware of emergency exits and location of fire extinguishers.  This includes notifying any “guests” they invite into the buildings.

·         For bodies working with vulnerable people young, elderly or disabled, it is suggested that they keep a register of attendees so that a role call can be taken to ensure all people are clear in the event of an evacuation.
It is the responsibility of each organisation/meeting organiser that takes a register to define their meeting place, however, it is suggested that either “Cooper’s Yard Car Park” or the entry to “Fountain Court” are used.

·         For events where it is impractical/impossible to have a register of attendees, such as Jumble Sales or Coffee Bar or “Drop In” events.  It is the responsibility of the meeting/event organiser to ensure that all rooms to which the “public” has had access are clear.
