Fire kills.
In 2004 fire & rescue services attended over 33,400 fires in non-domestic buildings. These fires killed 38 people and injured over 1300.
Those numbers have remained fairly constant in the years following.
Today fire remains a major cause of both business and human tragedy.
Fire costs money. Afterwards many businesses do not reopen.

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for businesses with 5 or more employees.
A risk assessment and a record of actions taken are accepted in a court of law as evidence of your fulfilled responsibilities. A breach can result in an unlimited fine or 2 year prison sentence.
Regardless of your legal obligation, a TWM Fire Risk Assessment will identify fire hazards and risks in your premises. You can then decide whether any risks identified are acceptable or whether you need to do something to reduce or control them.
How much is your business worth? Your stock, your premises, your people?
