Moving Office? Prioritise Your Fire Safety

Relocating to a new office is an exciting milestone for any business. Whether you’re upgrading to a bigger space, improving facilities, or moving to a more strategic location, it’s essential to consider all aspects of the transition. One crucial factor that should never be overlooked is fire safety. At LJM Fire, we’re here to help ensure your new premises meet all necessary fire regulations, keeping your staff and assets protected from day one.

Fire Risk Assessment: Your First Step

Before moving in, conducting a thorough fire risk assessment is vital. This process identifies potential fire hazards, evaluates existing fire safety measures, and ensures compliance with legal requirements. If your new office has had prior occupants, never assume that the fire safety measures are up to standard. LJM Fire can carry out a professional assessment, providing clear recommendations to enhance fire safety in your new space.

Ensure Fire Alarm Systems Are Up to Standard

A fully functional fire alarm system is a legal requirement for any workplace. Before settling in, check if the existing system is in good working condition and meets the latest BS 5839 regulations. If upgrades or a new installation are needed, LJM Fire offers expert fire alarm installation and maintenance services tailored to your office size and layout.

Check Emergency Exits and Escape Routes

Every office must have clearly marked, unobstructed fire exits and escape routes. Ensure that signage is visible and that all employees are aware of emergency procedures. LJM Fire can assess your premises to verify that escape routes are compliant and provide emergency lighting solutions to guide occupants safely in the event of a fire.

Install and Maintain Fire Extinguishers

Different offices require different types of fire extinguishers depending on the risks present. Our team at LJM Fire can assess your fire safety needs and supply the appropriate extinguishers, ensuring they are correctly installed and maintained according to BS 5306 standards.

Train Your Staff in Fire Safety

Fire safety isn’t just about equipment—it’s also about awareness and preparedness. Fire safety training helps your team understand fire risks, emergency procedures, and the correct use of firefighting equipment.

Stay Compliant with Regular Maintenance

Fire safety isn’t a one-time task. Regular maintenance and servicing of alarms, extinguishers, and emergency systems are essential to remain compliant and prepared. LJM Fire offers scheduled inspections to keep your office safe and legal.
