Business Continuity - Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service

If your business suffered a fire, would it survive the aftermath?

Research carried out by the Government shows that 20% of UK businesses suffer some form of major disruption every year, and of those 80% will close within 18 months of the disruption occurring.

This not only relates to fire, but acts of terrorism, pandemics, theft and fraud, even floods can have devastating effects on your business continuity. Incidents need not affect your company in order to cause major disruption to your business activities.

No matter what the cause of disruption is, good business continuity planning can reduce overall losses to your business by half

To assist in your business continuity planning ROBUST (Resilient Business Software Toolkit) can help you develop and produce effective business continuity plans, enabling you to produce plans to help your business recover quickly.

The toolkit is available FREE to download from the following launch site

ROBUST

The toolkit is funded by the major UK insurers and is designed to safeguard businesses, its people and its assets.

Firefighters and Community Fire Safety staff from the Service will now visit domestic properties to provide home safety advice and will supply and install a smoke alarm free of charge, where appropriate.

These checks are the cornerstone of the proactive role the Service is adopting in its drive to reduce the deaths and injuries that are caused by accidental fires.

The provision of smoke alarms and other home safety items by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service is supported by funding from Welsh Government.
