Government guide on fire risk assessment for horse keepers published

[Mr_Ed]

A new guide has been published to help employers, managers, occupiers and owners of animal premises and stables to minimise the risk of fire. It tells you what you have to do to comply with fire safety law, helps you carry out a fire risk assessment and identify the general fire precautions you need to have in place.

Fire Safety Risk Assessment - Animal Premises and Stables was published on 23 October by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).

For more details and for a free download of the guide go to: http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/fire/firesafetyanimal
