About the Business Safety Team

Our Business Safety team consists of a Business Safety Manager and two Business Safety Advocates.

Aims

The aim of the team is to help businesses understand their legal obligations under the Fire Safety Order 2005, while also tackling the causes of unwanted fire signals and arson. 

The team also carries out a programme of Business Safety Reviews, which act as a pre-audit checklist for businesses -   helping businesses to prepare for official Fire Safety Audits which should help to relieve any anxiety or uncertainty you may have regarding the audit process.

The team regularly engages with partners through projects, workshops and community initiatives.

Chamber meetings are also attended to spread key messages relating to fire safety.
