New fire safety regulations have recently come into force, based on lessons learnt from the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
While these regulations are primarily aimed at multi-occupancy residential buildings, they do have significance for any shop premises that may have residential premises above or adjacent.
It's certainly a timely reminder to review your own business's fire safety procedures and to ensure that all staff members are clear about:
the importance of keeping fire doors and escape routes clear.
avoiding the build-up of any material that could represent a fire hazard.
how to report a fire.
how to safely evacuate the premises.
