As workplaces decorate and celebrate the festive season, fire risks can increase if precautions are overlooked. Electrical decorations, portable heaters, increased stock, and reduced staffing over the holidays all heighten the potential for fire incidents.
Key Christmas Fire Safety Tips for the Workplace:
✔ Ensure all Christmas lights and decorations are PAT tested and switched off out of hours
✔ Keep escape routes and fire exits clear at all times
✔ Never overload plug sockets or use damaged electrical equipment
✔ Store additional stock safely and away from ignition sources
✔ Appoint a responsible person to carry out regular fire safety checks during holiday periods
A fire risk assessment review before the Christmas shutdown can help protect your staff, premises, and business continuity.
Don’t let festive cheer compromise safety.
