Whether you are a small or large organisation, a fire or failure to comply with legislation can pose a serious and significant risk and cost to your business. This is especially true where organisations rely upon, or operate from, a single premises. The worst eventuality would be multiple fatalities, but even small fires can be devastating and can cause much disruption and loss.
Between May 2007 and April 2008 there were 124 fires that cost in excess of £250,000 each, causing an estimated total loss of £120,353,627.
