Fire safety works on the basic principle of identifying hazards and risks and taking steps to avoid them. Fire only needs three things to start; an ignition point, fuel and oxygen.
Offices and shops present numerous potential points of ignition, each of which needs to be identified and assessed to ensure it’s safe. These could include faulty electrical equipment, smoking materials, lighting and even arson.
Any flammable materials must also be accounted for to ensure they are stored correctly and most importantly away from any potential points of ignition. Cleaning materials, decorating equipment, product packaging, paper and soft furnishings are all commonly found in offices and shops, for example.
Oxygen is in the air all around us and for the most part unavoidable. However, ventilation systems can exacerbate the situation and certain chemicals can also have an oxidising effect that helps a fire to spread.
As previously mentioned, one of the most critical components of fire safety in these environments is identifying people at risk and creating a plan to account for their safety. This could include people with disabilities, those who work alone or isolated, elderly customers or children who would find it difficult to evacuate in an emergency.
Our services, training and products can help to ensure your premises have been thoroughly evaluated and all risks and hazards managed to create a safer all around environment for staff and customers, as well as protecting your business’s assets.
Our highly skilled team of assessors are regularly audited for quality assurance purposes and each has the knowledge and skills that could save lives. Get the peace of mind that your office or shop is as safe as can be from potential fire hazards.
