Licensed premises staff 'should have fire safety training'

Personal injury solicitors Manchester are advising all nightclubs, bars and restaurants to train their supervisory staff - such as door supervisors - in fire safety.


Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) recently held a training session for Unique Security Solutions employees who worked at licensed premises in the Northern Quarter. The event, which took place on November 21st at Manchester Central fire Station, was also attended by members of the Licensing Team at Manchester City Council and Protection Officers from GMFRS. 

The no win no fee solicitors Manchester at Clearwater Solicitors suggest that any licensed premises that have not sent their staff to one of these courses should do so now. Doing so will help them fulfill the business' duty of care towards their patrons and minimise the likelihood of them becoming involved in personal injury claims.

GMFRS' course informed supervisors about how important it is to know where fire exits are located, why fire exit routes must be kept clear, why exits must be properly operable, general information about fire safety management, and legal requirements for emergency lighting and fire alarms.
