Introduction

Fire risks affect all businesses. Latest Government figures show there were over 42,000 fires in workplaces and other non-domestic premises in 2003, more than half caused by faulty equipment or carelessness.

The Cost of a Fire

The costs associated with a fire include:

• death and injury to staff and the public
• damage to property
• disruption to business and loss of trade
• increased insurance premiums
• major claims and possible criminal proceedings

Despite the risks involved, there is evidence that many businesses are failing to take adequate precautions.

Our professional fire safety consultants can help you understand the complexities of fire safety legislation, building regulations, risk management and insurance company recommendations, and ensure legislative compliance.
