Sutton firefighters are using Fire Sprinkler Week to raise awareness of the benefits of sprinklers to the borough's businesses, schools and colleges.
One of the themes of the week is Business Continuity, focusing on the support that fitting automatic fire sprinkler systems can provide to business and to social (educational) continuity.
One of the themes of the week is Business Continuity, focusing on the support that fitting automatic fire sprinkler systems can provide to business and to social (educational) continuity.
The initiative hopes:
• To encourage businesses to consider how fitting sprinklers can help to protect their valuable assets (people, buildings, machinery and supplies) from fire, or can mitigate the effects that a fire has upon their assets, helping them to achieve business continuity.
• To encourage schools and other educational establishments to fit sprinklers, allowing them to potentially minimize the major impact that a fire can cause their students, staff and community.
• To promote the economic, social and business benefits of having sprinklers to business owners and leaders, and to dispel some of the myths about sprinklers.
“Many businesses struggle after the disaster caused by fire in their premises. It is clear that sprinklers can help to reduce dramatically the impact of a fire on the ability of any business to continue to trade,” said a spokesperson.
“But it isn’t just business premises that can have a dramatic impact on the continuation of performance – that’s why we encourage every school and educational establishment to consider having sprinkler systems.”
