Fire Safety in Commercial Buildings; Understanding Your Responsibilities

• When? 09 May 2019 , 8.30am - 10.30am
• Where? Stourbridge Fire Station Community Room

There is a duty under the Fire Safety Order to take such fire precautions as may be reasonably required to ensure that premises are safe for the occupants and those in the immediate vicinity and a general duty to carry out a fire risk assessment.

From this event the University of Wolverhampton would like to develop partnerships with attendees for potential collaborations which will contribute to the resilience of local businesses and reduce their environmental impact.
