The Importance of site safety checks

The Importance of site safety checks

With yet another large fire in the news yesterday, it really highlights the need for comprehensive risk assessments and fire safety training.

As shown in the case of the Glasgow Fruit Market, fires can erupt at any time and spread quickly. With this fire being caused by a suspected refrigerator, it quickly ignited nearby gas bottles and spread through the upper offices within minutes.

Having regular fire safety risk assessments and ensuring that staff are trained to deal with these kind of situations reduces the risk of injury to you and your staff.

Would you know the correct procedure in the case of an emergency? Where are the nearest exits? Are all alarms and extinguishers regularly maintained?

If you have doubt on any of the above, please do give us a call on 01420 476071 to book your fire risk assessment.
