Safety Officer

As the employer or manager of a building, you are obliged to ensure people on your premises are protected as much as possible from the risks of fire.

Adequate installation and maintenance of fire protection systems is just the beginning. It’s also your responsibility to ensure:

• Staff are trained and re-trained to ensure they know what action to take during an emergency. A quick response can dramatically reduce risks of loss of life and property in the event of a fire.
• Your emergency response procedure, including evacuation plans, and where your fire fighting equipment is located should be well documented.
• A Fire Safety Advisor is appointed to carry out a range of activities to minimise the risk of fire in your building.
