Industrial Fire Risk Assessment, Safety & Emergency Planning
Details
Fire presents significant risk to businesses. It can kill or seriously injure employees or visitors and can damage or destroy buildings, equipment and stock.
Organisations operating from single premises are particularly vulnerable as loss of premises may completely disrupt their operations. Many businesses fail to continue trading following a severe fire.
Fire may have a more significant impact on businesses that:
- stock combustible materials including flammable liquids or gases
- use heat processes
- have people working alone in parts of the building
- have poorly maintained equipment or electrical circuits
- have public access (i.e. are at risk from arson)
- have poor housekeeping standards.
However, any organisation may be affected at any time.
