Hi there,
Fire safety can feel like a minefield — regulations, standards, equipment, inspections… it can get complicated fast.
So here’s the simple starting point: the 5 core things every business should look at first.
Here’s the quick breakdown:
1) Fire Risk Assessment
A written Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement.
It should identify hazards, people at risk and the controls in place.
→ Must be reviewed regularly or when anything changes.
2) Fire Alarm System
Your alarm system must be suitable for the building layout and use.
→ Should be tested weekly and serviced by a competent provider at least twice per year.
3) Emergency Lighting
If mains power fails, people must still be able to escape safely.
→ Emergency lights should be tested monthly and fully duration-tested yearly.
4) Fire Extinguishers
You must have the correct type(s) for your risks — and they must be serviced annually.
→ Water Mist is increasingly the modern clean multi-class choice for offices, clinics, tech & retail.
5) Fire Doors
Fire doors must always close properly, never be wedged open, and must be routinely checked for gaps, seals & fit.
If your business needs help with any of these — or you simply want to upgrade / replace equipment — we can help.
