Your company could be met with fire safety penalties if you do not meet fire protection or fire safety standards. Every company and organisation is responsible for ensuring its sites and premises meet and adhere to the minimum fire safety regulations. Yet time and again, there is news of companies being heavily fined for not doing so. Read more.

Avoiding Fire Safety Penalties:

Why are Fire Protection Measures so Important?

There are many reports of business owners avoiding their duty of care to people on-site. They tend to prove that inadequate fire protection measures can be fatal to people and businesses.

Fire Alarm and Flames

Essentially, negligent companies and businesses are putting the lives of their staff, customers, and visitors at risk by:

  • Failing to regularly check and ensure that they meet commercial fire safety regulations
  • Check that adequate fire protection measures are in place

The incentive to put these measures in place is clear: fire protection can save people’s lives, and save businesses money.

Reasons why businesses fail to meet commercial Fire Protection standards

Fire Safety strategy

Inevitably, daily business routines and challenges can be a distraction from ensuring fire safety measures are properly in place. However, the risk of fire safety penalties, along with fatal fire events, should be a big concern to business owners.
