    What does the law say?

    Each company is legally required to have an in-house firefighting service. It consists of several employees who act efficiently in the event of a fire (hazard). The size of your organisation is irrelevant to this requirement.

    A risk analysis determines how many employees the firefighting service must contain. This depends on your company size, type of business operations and the fire risk.

    As an employer, you are legally obligated to provide members of the firefighting service with the necessary training.  Raising awareness is important to inform all other employees of fire hazards, what to do in the event of a fire and how to evacuate.
