About this listen
In this episode, Neil Hughes-Hutchings, Senior Health and Safety Consultant at AfterAthena Ltd, discusses the critical topic of fire strategy. Neil emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive fire strategy for buildings, noting that its absence can significantly worsen the effects of a fire. He explains that a fire strategy includes the building’s designed fire evacuation provision, supporting fire safety measures, and the evacuation plan. Detailed recommendations are provided for both simple and complex premises, such as maintaining as-built plans, fire safety equipment specifications, and evacuation procedures for disabled persons. Neil stresses that the fire strategy should remain a living document, updated with significant changes, to ensure compliance and enhance safety within the organisation.
