Fire Safety
Understand your roles and responsibilities in keeping your workplace safe from fire risks.
Fire safety is one of the most important responsibilities in any workplace. Employers are legally required to provide a safe environment, which means taking steps to prevent fires, putting clear emergency procedures in place, and making sure staff know how to respond.
A fire can start and spread in seconds, so having strong procedures and proper training is essential. Every workplace should have a fire safety plan in place to protect employees, visitors, and property, making fire safety a shared responsibility across the business.
We take a holistic approach to fire strategy planning
