🔥 5 Fire Safety Risks Small Businesses Often Miss 🔥

Even the safest workplaces can overlook simple things that make a big difference. Here are the top risks we spot all the time:

🚪 Blocked escape routes
A few boxes or chairs can slow everyone down in an emergency.

🔌 Worn or overloaded electrics
Damaged plugs and tangled extension leads are a real fire hazard.

🚫 Fire doors wedged open
They’re designed to stop fire spreading - but only if they’re closed.

👩🏫 Staff unsure what to do
Training matters. Everyone should know the basics.

📄 Old fire risk assessments
If your workplace has changed, your assessment should too.

A few quick checks can make your business much safer.
