Fire Safety
Ask yourself this question. If I have a fire on my premises how long will the fire brigade take to arrive. 4 minutes? 15 minutes?
Fact. 80% of fires are extinguished by staff before the arrival of the emergency services. Also the fire precautions legislation states the requirement that employers must provide the means of fighting fires and suitable training for staff in fire safety.
