Explanation
The question aims to test your understanding of the statutory obligations of employees towards fire safety in workplaces. Abiding by safety laws and regulations not only ensures individual safety but also keeps organisational operations going with minimal interruption. As an employee, one is directly involved in the maintenance of that fire safety by keeping accurate prevention logs, not interfering with anything meant for fire safety, ensuring the health and safety of themselves and others related to their actions, and by cooperating with the employer to adhere to fire safety laws. Lastly, the requirement to carry out fire risk assessments isn't a 'legal requirement' of employees; instead, it's typically the appointment of the organization, depending on its size, nature of work, etc.
