His background has also been in fire fighter safety which is governed by the Fire Services act 2004 section 7(2) d. This involved risk assessment of premises and businesses, so that should an incident occur then the fire crews attending it would be provided with information regarding the processes carried out and layout and construction and any associated hazards of the premises, the purpose of which is to enhance fire fighter safety. Should the worst happen and your premise is involved in a fire, the more accurate, detailed and complete information you can provide the fire service, the more chance there is of minimising the damage to your business.
