 Fire |
The first step to preventing a fire is a fire risk assessment.
Carrying out a fire risk assessment delivers real benefits to business; by taking a few simple steps to reduce fire risks, employers can prevent fires breaking out. When you consider that 70% of businesses suffering a fire never reopen, or close within 3 years of the fire, then taking the time to do a fire risk assessment looks like a very sensible investment. Furthermore, it is a legal requirement. |

| The questions you need to ask yourself are: |
- Have you been proactive in doing a full fire risk assessment for your business?
- Are you aware that full documentary evidence of this risk assessment needs to be kept to allow inspection at any time?
- Would your business stand up to an adhoc inspection from the fire brigade who not only need to see evidence of a fire risk assessment but also full documentation if you employ five or more people?
If the answer is NO, then it is time to act.
One option is to get a Fire Risk Assessment Consultant to do your fire risk assessment for you. This is probably suitable if you do not have a health and safety officer, a fire safety manager or a responsible member of staff who is competent to carry out a fire risk assessment or if you have a site considered to be high risk.
At Safety Together we can help you with your Fire Risk Assessment and or review.
