Don't neglect workplace fire safety!
Businesses that neglect fire safety can face serious legal consequences. Local fire services have the authority to inspect your premises and issue fire safety notices if shortfalls are found. Serious failings can lead to enforcement notices mandating specific improvements. In extreme cases, prohibition notices may be issued to restrict or prohibit access to unsafe premises.
Non-compliance can result in fines up to £5,000 for minor breaches, or unlimited fines and up to 2 years in prison for major violations.

Fire Safety in your workplace
In the UK, workplace fire safety is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the appointment of a ‘responsible person’ to oversee fire safety on the premises.
Key responsibilities include:
- Maintaining fire doors to proper safety standards.
- Keeping emergency exits clear and accessible.
- Running regular fire drills and safety checks.
- Ensuring fire alarms, extinguishers, and other safety equipment are tested and maintained.
- Ensuring effective compartmentation to prevent fire spread.
By working with Atlantas, you gain access to expert guidance and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring your business remains safe, compliant, and fully prepared for fire safety inspections.
