Fire Safety – Everybody’s Business

80% of businesses never recover from a serious fire.  Don't be one of them.

Join representatives from the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service to learn about your responsibilities and how you can keep people and your business safe from fire.  They will provide you with top tips to easily manage this important area of running your business.

Fires in small businesses can be devastating with many financial impacts:

• Losing customers who go somewhere else

• Loss of valuable stock and equipment

• Time and cost of building repairs or complete rebuilding

• Higher insurance premiums

Let’s not forget there's also the possibility of injuries and, worse still, loss of life.  On top of that, the fire authority may prosecute you if people are affected by the fire in your premises.

 

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the law that requires you to keep people safe. 

Find out what actions you need to do to prevent a fire; ensure you are adhering to any regulatory requirements and have the opportunity to raise questions to keep you, your team and business as safe as possible.
