Fire Safety in your Venue

There has always been issues surrounding fire arrangements in Nightclubs, Late Bars, Working Mens clubs etc. Enforcement agencies have highlighted problems in relation to members of the public (MOP’s) not being informed of an establishments emergency fire evacuation procedures and how the responsible person ensures safe egress of MOP’s in the case of an emergency evacuation. In a working situation the responsible person has much more control but this diminishes when considering influencing factors such as alcohol, disabled persons and OAP’s. Your venue still has to conform with current fire legislation i.e. completion of a fire risk assessment but may fail when it comes to organising dedicated Fire Marshals (FM’s) to aid evacuation.
