  1. Ensure the Safety of Your Building with Routine Fire Risk Assessments Opening a business is a dream for many individuals but finding your own storefront can be a difficulty. There are a lot of factors you must keep in mind when searching for a building for your business. Keeping your company safe and functioning smoothly is a huge factor, of course, but there are some things you may have never considered. The safety of any commercial location you are considering is something you will want to look into thoroughly.

  2. Fire safety and assessing any risks that may be present should be a huge priority for you as a business owner. If your customers, employees, or clients are in danger, it can fall back on you. This not only is something that can greatly affect you on a personal, emotional level, but it can also completely ruin your brand. For those just starting out, this can ruin any hopes you have in succeeding entirely. The importance of assessing any risks possible can not be more important, which is why working with a professional team can be extremely important. Often, it can be important to have an assessment before you move into a location and again once you have your items in place. There are many companies throughout the UK that can help you with this process. They can help identify any changes that need made and put a proper plan in place that can help you should a disaster happen.

  3. An easy way to ensure that you are helping protect as many people as possible is to have alarms and lighting in place. This can help alert those at your business when there are flames or smoke detected so that they can begin making their way out. Early detection and alerts are crucial to saving lives. A professional team will help you better understand where to place these important items, such as alarms, exit signs, etc. so that they cover enough square footage and can be easily seen or heard. Of course, fire extinguishers are one of the best first line of defense items. These can be easily added throughout your building so that they can be used at the first sight flames, giving those present more time to exit and often lowering the damage done. You will clearly want enough extinguishers to ensure that they are easily reached by guests or employees. This is something else that can easily be discussed with a professional as they have a better understanding of how many devices you need for your specific location. Another important factor that every company needs is an evacuation route that can easily be followed by guests and employees. This should be mapped out by a professional and easily visible. In larger locations, adding in objects like lighted exit signs can help with these routes and making them more easily seen. Training your staff on how to help those exiting during a disaster is also important and goes hand in hand with this process. Legally in the UK, companies with five or more employees are required to conduct a fire risk assessment and keep this on record on your premises. Though you are not legally required to do so for those with less employees, it is highly recommended to help keep your location and visitors safe. On average, the owner of the business will be one held liable for completing these evaluations, but this may also fall onto more individuals such as a building owner. Regardless, it is important that you do these steps to help avoid losing any lives and keeping your company growing properly with as few risks as possible.
