These industrial fires in Merseyside just confirm how important it is to have carried out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
When returning to work after lockdown you must ensure you have an up to date fire risk assessment in place and are completing the requirements in the action plan.
Often accidental fires can be avoided or their impact lessened by just taking simple measures including:
Turning off any unnecessary electrical appliances
Competing PAT testing and your five year fixed circuit and electrical installation test
Removing as many combustible materials as possible from your building
Maintaining your fire safety systems
Not smoking within close proximity to your building
Not wedding open fire doors
Having security measures in place and not easily allowing unauthorised persons in your building
Never blocking your fire exit doors
Making regular checks of all of the above
