Things can change over the winter. If there's new bits in your property, or existing layouts and equipment has been changed, it'll be worth organising a new fire risk assessment to be up-to-date with your property.

In the darker months, emergency lighting would have gone through its peak usage.
This is the right time to put it through some rigorous testing, making sure it is working exactly as it should.
#ElectricalSafety
Spring (moving into summer) tends to be a very busy time for electrical installations.
To avoid disappointment and make sure everything is tested within your annual periods, get booked in for electrical inspections sooner rather than later.

Overgrown bushes can be more of a threat to fire safety than you think! If grounds maintenance has fallen behind over the winter, overgrown shrubs may be blocking your fire exits.

Harsh winter weather may have damaged some of your outdoor lighting.
As we move into lighter evenings, now is the time to get outdoor electricals fixed before the dark nights roll back around again!

If you're moving bits about and reorganising your storage, be mindful of where you're placing your items, even for temporary periods.
Make sure fire extinguishers or alarm call points aren't blocked, maintaining easy access at all times.

If Spring is the time you declutter your property, make sure rubbish doesn't block any fire exits or escape routes - they need to be kept clear! #FireSafety
Make sure you plan to clean dust from vents, plant rooms and server spaces. Dust buildup increases potential fire risk, so make sure areas in your commercial or industrial property are dust-free. #FireSafety
It's soon going to be time to spring clean your workplace, but be mindful of where you store any waste that you're looking to shift on. Make sure it's away from electrical panels and disposed of properly, so there's no threat of fire from any flammable materials. #FireSafety
