Where a building is erected or extended, or has undergone a material change of use, Regulation 38 of the Building Regulations requires that a package of fire safety information must be assembled and given to the responsible person of the premises. A fire strategy is commonly used as a means for collating and providing that information.
Creating a fire strategy is essential for protecting business processes and assets. It involves analyzing the potential spread of fire and implementing a plan to minimize the damage caused by such incidents. Additionally, the fire strategy can be seamlessly integrated with a business continuity plan, which is a prearranged management system designed to ensure the organization can effectively continue its operations even in the aftermath of disasters like fires, floods, or other natural occurrences.
