The Responsible Person will need to make sure that their employees and the public are safe if there is a fire.
The best way to ensure their protection is with having a Fire Strategy. It is a plan that outlines the best ways to keep everyone safe, such as using the fire exits, using fire extinguishers and calling the fire and rescue services. The Fire Strategy is a combination of different ideas that a professional company should provide in the form of a documented report.
DB Fire Solutions can offer a detailed Fire Strategy report so that everyone in your premises knows what to do in the event of a fire. Our company has experienced and certified professionals who can deliver precise reports that come with evacuation procedures and elaborate information about fire safety features in a building.
A Fire Strategy is a detailed map or design of the building that helps to point out the escape routes if there is a fire. It follows all the compliance requirements for building regulations, including the following.
Every commercial building or office needs a Fire Strategy, planned by a professional Fire Strategy company. DB Fire Solutions can plan the Fire Strategy after going through the construction design or blueprint of the building. This stage helps us understand the best precautions and exit strategies that may work best for your premises.
According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every business, office, or commercial building should have a Fire Strategy. If you don’t have one and your business is subject to an inspection, the responsible person will be legally liable.
The Fire Strategy can protect and safeguard your employees, customers, and the building. A Fire Strategy will help minimise the risks when there is a fire. It informs the employees about what they should do and how they should escape during an emergency.
With a detailed Fire Strategy, you can make appropriate arrangements such as training your employees about fire procedures, how to use fire safety equipment, and following different fire safety measures.
As already mentioned, a Fire Strategy is a necessity in every business. It is not just about complying with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; it is also about keeping your employees safe so that they don’t lose their lives while working. Some more benefits of having a Fire Strategy are as follows:
Fire training is crucial in any work place. No one knows when a fire will happen, so everyone has to be alert at all times and make sure they remember the basics of their fire training. Our Fire Strategy report will include all the training details that your employees should perform.
Unless you have a Fire Strategy, you may not know the training details that everyone should follow. Starting from how to use a fire extinguisher to gathering in an assembly area, we will include all this information in the report.
The first thing that happens after discovery of a fire in the work place is panic, panicking leads to poor decision making and this can be fatal in a fire situation. That’s why the Fire Strategy is essential. It points out all the escape routes in the report. You can display these on every floor so that employees know which exit to use during a fire.
The Fire Strategy also includes the various extinguishing media available to prevent fire spread. For example, you can keep buckets of sand on every floor, fire extinguishers in every room, have a hosepipe connected to the primary water supply, and so on. We will inspect your office and come up with a list of items that you should have in the building to stop the fire from spreading.
A Fire Strategy is a document that will assist all staff in the event of a fire. It will cover areas such as;
Evacuation routes and exits are the routes that employees should use when there is a fire in the building.
Every business should have active fire alarms and emergency lighting so that they can detect smoke and indicate others of the danger.
Fire extinguishers, blankets, buckets of sand, a hose connected to the mains water supply, and a variety of other things come under firefighting equipment. The employees should also get training on how to use these items.
We inspect these structures and provide ratings according to their ability to prevent fire. You may have to change some of these structures or install fire doors if they are non compliant.
