A risk assessment of your building may reveal that the installation of an automatic fire detection and alarm system is needed. Properly installed and maintained, the automatic system with its fast response to incipient fire can be a significant factor in reducing the risk to life and limiting the damage to your property in the event of fire.

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service advise you to review your Fire Risk assessment and Emergency Plan in light of the impact of Covid 19 on your staffing levels, operating times, business processes and evacuation arrangements. 

If you intend to carry out building work you will need to ensure any works comply with the Building Regulations 2000 (as amended).

These can prove both costly to the fire service and to the building operator where evacuation of a building as a result of a false alarm signal can result in loss of production and general disruption of normal business activities.
