Fire safety in the workplace: What you need to know
When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, the responsibility can lie with a variety of people. Landlords, occupiers, owners all have a stake in fire safety, and often the responsibility lies directly at the feet of the employer. For any workplace to be deemed ‘fire safe’, it has to adhere to certain requirements such as emergency planning, staff training and quality alarm systems, as well as having regular risk assessments carried out. A lot of workplaces will be shared premises or at the very least rented from an owner or landlord, so it’s important to understand right from the outset where the responsibility will lie.
