We would like to remind business owners to review their current fire risk assessment over Christmas. With temporary changes to decorations, internal layouts and extra seasonal staff, it's important to consider the impact this might have. Decorations such as artificial foliage can rapidly cause the development and spread of fire. For more information on the effects that use, and placement of artificial décor can have, please see https://lnkd.in/ey8UcNhP #businessfiresafety #christmas #firesafety
