Businesses urged to get on board with new premises information scheme

Businesses in Warwickshire are being urged to sign up to a new scheme to help firefighters learn more about potential risks should an incident occur at their premises.

The aim of the service is to provide firefighters with accurate information about the business, so should an incident occur, the fire crews will know exactly what they are dealing with, which in turn will ensure the incident is dealt with more quickly. The scheme is designed for the owners of all non-domestic properties in Warwickshire, be it a small shop up to a hotel, or large factory.

All information provided will be kept securely and no details will be passed on to third parties. Larger businesses may receive a visit from the Fire Service to allow them to build a more detailed picture of the premises.

You can complete your Premises Information Form by logging onto: www.warwickshire.gov.uk/premisesinformationform. The form should only take five minutes to complete, but the difference it may make to the safety of your business could be huge.
