Fires in the workplace (28/08/2009 @ 09:31:36)

What do you think is the biggest cause of fire in the workplace? Electrical? Smoking? Poor housekeeping? All of these are causes of fire but not the biggest. The biggest cause of fire in the workplace is..........ARSON! Did you know that many businesses never re-open following a fire in the workplace, so ask yourself a question "Are we prepared for a fire in the workplace"? If the answer is 'yes', well be sure to maintain the controls you have in place. If the answer is 'No' you may need to ensure that your employees are trained in what hazards may face them. You may also need to train a number of employees to become fire marshals. For more information simply get in touch. We are more than happy to discuss your requirement without obligation.
