Fire Safety for Workplace

Fire presents a significant risk to businesses. It can kill or seriously injure employees or visitors and can also damage or destroy buildings, equipment or stock.  The impact of fire in the workplace can depend on the type of business you have, the size of your organization and the people you are responsible for.  

You should be able to spot fire hazards, which are any situation that can give rise to a fire.  You have a duty to manage fire safety if you are responsible for the premises. To do this you need to carry out a fire risk assessment.

This assessment should identify anyone who may be at risk should a fire occur and the inherent risks within the premises. Additionally, the assessment should provide detail of all measures introduced to remove or reduce those risks in order to ensure the safety of anyone in the event of a fire.

We have linked a video that you can use these to train you and your staff to spot common fire hazards and to protect them within the workplace.
