Fire Aware Charters
Commercial Trades Charter
This charter is aimed specifically at companies who manage and carry out works within building’s used for commercial use.
This charter promotes awareness in understanding the fire strategy of the commercial buildings they work in.
It promotes consideration of the works being undertaken and the effect these may have on the fire strategy already in place to protect those who use the building for its intended purpose.

- We will ensure when tendering works we understand the fire strategy of the premises within which the works are being undertaken, prior to committing costs
- We will ensure that our project RAMS consider the risk of fire during the works particularly in the instances of continued end user occupation during the works
- We will communicate and co ordinate our works with the ability of the Building Control agent to inspect works prior to closing up
