It is widely known that fires can cause huge amounts of damage in very short periods of time, and members of staff who work in environments which contain flammable substances must be fully trained in how to avoid causing a fire or an explosion.
Unfortunately, every year many work places become subjected to accidents involving fire, and the consequences can be devastating in terms of lives lost, injuries and damage caused to property and a company's reputation.
Many of the incidents involving fire in the past could have been prevented, and companies should make it their top priority to ensure that all staff who are required to work in an area which contains flammable substances are properly trained in health and safety procedures.
Certain liquids, gases, dusts and solids which can readily burn or explode, all pose fire risks to the work-place. Under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002, employers are required to assess the risk of dangerous substances causing a fire or explosion and find a way to either eliminate or minimise the risk.
Workers who are accountable for non-domestic premises which contain fire hazards and are accessible to the public must take responsibility for adopting fire safe behaviours in this type of environment.
It is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities' responsibility to check that companies who work in potentially explosive environments are adhering to the regulations outlined by legislation.
