If a business does not have [...]]]> Every businessman knows that they have to plan for the future. No business can stand still – there has to be a strategy. It is all about risk and reward. Yet, has your business made a plan against one of the greatest risks – fire?

If a business does not have a Fire Emergency Plan to deal with a fire safety emergency they are gambling with peoples lives.
Macdonald Martin, fire safety consultants, can help businesses to put together an effective Fire Emergency Plan.

A Fire Emergency Plan basically ensures that all members of staff know what to do if there is a fire and that the premises can be safely evacuated. The plan should be based on the outcome of a fire risk assessment.

The plan will include a fire evacuation strategy. When discovering a fire it should be the duty of every person to sound the fire alarm immediately. The fire service should be called immediately. Staff should congregate at pre-determined assembly points and a roll call of all staff should be taken. The assembly point should be a safe distance away from the building so as not to put staff in danger and not to impede the fire safety services.

Macdonald Martin can help your business to formulate an effective Fire Emergency Plan for any size of organisation. Make sure the only gamble workers make is on the lottery on a Saturday and not when they step into work every day. For more information on Health & Safety visit http://www.macdonald-martin.co.uk/
