Annually, within the UK, on average 30 people die and 2,000 are seriously injured as a result of fires in the work place. Besides the loss of life the damage to property, loss of business, fines, compensation claims and insurance premiums cost the economy over £6 billion. It can be the end for small businesses as 75% of businesses that have a fire within the first year of trading never trade again.

As part of the commitment to reduce fire deaths, injuries and the damage caused by fire the Government has changed fire safety legislation. This section of our website advises on these changes and gives information and guidance to assist in identifying the general fire precautions that may be needed for compliance with this legislation.
