Legislation dictates that all employees should be instructed appropriately in safety measures and one of the most important areas of safety in the workplace is covered by fire awareness training. This should not be looked upon as a chore or something that employees can undertake to get away from their desks for a few hours, more it should be considered as a vital part of their job description - to understand the risks associated with fire and know how to safely conduct themselves should a fire break out in the workplace.
To fully appreciate the risk of fire and to ensure your workplace is up to standards in terms of being prepared in the event of a fire, you are advised to employ a fire protection company to carry out a fire risk assessment Surrey.
The person responsible for the building is required, by law, to conduct a fire risk assessment as well as implementing and maintaining a fire management plan. If you hire a professional fire protection company to carry out your risk assessment you can be sure that it will be conducted to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005.
By ensuring your workplace has the necessary fire protection in place - i.e. the correct fire extinguishers positioned in the correct places, a tried and tested fire evacuation procedure, appointed fire marshals and the provision of fire safety signs - you can relax safe in the knowledge that if the worst happens you and your employees will be sufficiently prepared.
Fire awareness training will ensure that the workforce is prepared in the event of a fire.
