Do you own a building that is sitting vacant? If so, did you know that fire safety in empty buildings is still your legal responsibility; the same as if you occupied the building. Just because there is nobody in the building, it doesn’t mean that all fire safety precautions go out the window; they are just as important.

Are you fully compliant with all aspects of Fire Safety?

New owners/tenants will find it much more appealing if you are fully compliant on all aspects of fire safety in your building, and have ensured all health and safety matters are taken care of.  As well as showcasing your building, good fire safety in empty buildings protects your assets while empty too.

Although empty, you must still carry out a Fire Risk Assessment for your premises to identify all the risks in the building. The aim of the FRA is to reduce or eliminate these risks where possible. After completion, you can see what provisions you will need to secure your building.

If you have carried out an FRA, it will say how many extinguishers you will need, what type, and where they should be positioned. The extent to which you are expected to include extinguishers Your insurance company will also have a policy on the extent to which you are expected to included extinguishers. If  you have any extinguishers in your empty building, it is important that they are maintained to conforming standards.
