The information provided below is aimed at improving your safety at home and work.

Community Safety

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service is committed to reduce the number of fires, fire deaths and injuries. Their website provides useful information on keeping safe from fire at home and during recreation time. See Fire Safety for more information.

Business Safety

The Humberside Fire and Rescue Service website offers useful advice on keeping your workplace safe from fire and provides information to assist you in meeting the requirements of the regulations.

 

The website also provides links to government websites that provide further information on the regulations. You can also download the Fire Risk Assessment Guidance document and use it to assess your workplace’s level of fire safety. See Business Safety for more information.

Unwanted fire alarms

False alarms are a nuisance to both businesses and the Fire Service. They cost businesses time and money, and divert the Fire Service from dealing with genuine emergency calls and carrying out effective Community Fire Safety work.

 

They also put members of the public and firefighters at unnecessary risk. See Business Safety / Fire Alarms for information on how to reduce the number of false alarms from your premises.
