Undertaking A Fire Safety Risk Assessment
Nobody imagines their office will suffer from a fire… and to be honest, the level of preparation often reflects this. Previously in the UK, fire certificates were handed out by the fire services, but as of 2006, businesses are required to carry out their own fire risk assessment.
This fire safety risk assessment can be broken down into 5 sections:
1) Identify potential fire hazards
2) Investigate who would be in danger if a fire broke out
3) Evaluate the potential risks and hazards in the office and examine what can be done to limit these issues from being a problem.
