Fire Safety for Retailers | WorkNest Webinar

Managing fire safety alongside customers, staffing and day-to-day operations is not always straightforward. But overlooked risks can put people in danger, disrupt trading and expose your business to serious financial and regulatory consequences.

Join Jeff Watkins, Head of Fire Safety at WorkNest, for a focused 30-minute webinar designed specifically for retailers. Using lessons from real fire incidents and near misses, Jeff will explain where businesses commonly go wrong and the practical steps you can take to reduce risk, strengthen compliance and protect your operations.

A serious fire can affect every part of your business, from the safety of employees, customers and visitors to your premises, stock, reputation and ability to keep trading.

Businesses have legal responsibilities for fire safety wherever people use their premises. Additional considerations may also apply where residential accommodation is located above or connected to a retail property. 

This webinar will help you understand what good fire safety looks like in practice and where your attention may be needed most.

• The fire safety risks currently affecting retail businesses
• Lessons from real incidents and near misses across the sector
• Common mistakes that can leave retailers exposed
• The potential human, operational, financial and regulatory consequences of getting fire safety wrong
