Fire Safety at home and in the Workplace
Fire Safety measures are essential in the workplace and at home. The vast majority of fires occur not in the workplace, but at home. The reason for this – in the workplace legislation is very strict on fire safety – mandatory evacuation drills, staff training and emergency plans are a requirement for every business.
Controlling Fire Safety Risks:
It is necessary to carry out a fire risk assessment before making an informed decision on what control measures need to be implemented. Employers must then take steps to avoid the risk of fire.
