Fire risk management - lessons to be learnt
Overview
Fire remains the most damaging and disruptive event that any
food business has to face, potentially leading to significant
loss of production and in some cases destroying whole operations
beyond repair. Fires not only place people and businesses at risk
of harm but can result in loss of facilities, orders, customers and
jobs. The impacts of even small fires should not be
underestimated.
What's in it for me
The food industry is unique in the fire safety issues it
confronts and it is essential to have good risk management
practices in place. The Food and Drink Group has organised a
networking event which will help you share your experience and
learn from fires that have recently affected your sector.
Who should attend?
The event is ideal for health and safety practitioners,
engineers, risk managers, company management, insurers, surveyors
and those engaged in build and design of food process
factories.
