๐๐Christmas decorations & artificial foliage may make your business look nice, but is it safe?๐๐
Here are some tips:
โ Keep heat sources away from displays
โDon't place on any stairs or means of escape!
โ A competent person must review & assess the risk posed by these items
As there are now enhanced requirements for cooperation and coordination, it is important our elf (and you!) considers those who may occupy the same building. So, responsible persons can work together to keep individuals and businesses safe from fire. ๐ค #BusinessElfandSafety
Tomorrow 12 trainee firefighters are climbing the equivalent of the three peaks in Newark Market Square to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity - we hope to see you there!
