Crisis management

How an organisation responds in a crisis may have more impact on their reputation, revenue, and resilience, than the crisis event itself.

Fire safety in kitchens

Fires in kitchen and cooking areas are very common, often resulting in extensive damage to the premises and disruption to the business.

Flood guidance

The risk of flooding can come from rivers or run-off from drains that are unable to cope with the volume of water.
