FIRE SAFETY GUIDANCE

Managing potential fire risks

For fires to start, all that is needed is a heat source, a fuel to burn and oxygen... Managing and reducing risk is of the highest importance.

Heat Sources Management

Both retail and office environments have a range of potential heat sources that could aid in the ignition of a fire. Potential sources could include general electrical wiring and even equipment (Computers, Servers, Lighting). Our team can work to correctly identify risks and will work with you to help you to manage them.

Fuel Sources

It is important to keep potential fuel sources away from heat sources. Flammable materials could range from cleaning products to furnishings, and in shops environments, it can even include products of sale.

Oxygen During Fires

The final requirement for a fire is oxygen, not something you can particularly control due to abundance in the air around us. You may find that certain factors increase the amount of oxygen for a fire, meaning is it important to have the correct safety procedures in place to keep risks down. Ventilation and air flow may need to be considered.

PROTECTING PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.

In the event of a fire, it is vital that staff and visitors are sufficiently protected and are able to evacuate safely.

As with any commercial premises, one of the key steps that can be taken for fire safety is putting into place fire safety procedures for staff to follow in the event of a fire.

This will need to include procedures for those that may require additional support in order to evacuate.
