Heatwave Warning: Are Your Cooling Systems Creating a Fire Risk?

As temperatures rise, many workplaces are relying heavily on fans, extension leads and portable air conditioning units to stay comfortable.

What many business owners don’t realise is that overloaded sockets, damaged cables and poorly maintained cooling equipment can significantly increase fire risk.

Common issues we see:
⚠️ Daisy-chained extension leads
⚠️ Portable air conditioning units with blocked filters
⚠️ Fans left running overnight
⚠️ Electrical equipment overheating

A heatwave shouldn’t become a fire emergency.

Now is a great time to review your fire safety arrangements and electrical equipment.

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of fire incidents.

For businesses, summer brings additional hazards that can often be overlooked – from outdoor seating areas and BBQ equipment to increased electrical usage and hot weather conditions.

Taking a few simple precautions can significantly reduce the risk of fire and help protect your people, premises and customers.

Our Summer Fire Safety Checklist highlights a few key areas every business should review:
âś” Outdoor areas and walkways
âś” BBQs and cooking equipment
âś” Hot weather fire risks
âś” Electrical safety
âś” Emergency exits and access routes
âś” Fire risk assessment reviews

Fire safety isn’t just a box-ticking exercise – it’s about creating a safe environment for everyone.

If you’d like advice on your fire risk assessment or fire safety responsibilities, feel free to get in touch.

âť“ When was the last time your Fire Risk Assessment was reviewed?

For many businesses and property owners, Fire Risk Assessments are completed and then forgotten about. However, buildings, occupancy, layouts, and fire safety arrangements can all change over time, making regular reviews essential.

At SHAPS Fire Safety, we provide professional Fire Risk Assessments for:

• Commercial buildings
• Apartment blocks
• Schools and educational settings
• Hotels and hospitality venues
• Offices
• Healthcare premises
• Retail properties
• And more

Our assessments help identify fire hazards, evaluate existing control measures, and provide practical recommendations to help keep your premises safe, compliant, and protected.

If you’re unsure whether your assessment is up to date, or you’d like to discuss your fire safety requirements, we’d be happy to help.

Summer brings more activity, more equipment use, and more opportunities for fire hazards to develop. Businesses should be aware of increased risks from:

🔥 Outdoor cooking
⚡ Electrical overloads
❄️ Air conditioning equipment
đź‘Ą Increased footfall and occupancy
🎪 Seasonal events and activities

Summer is a great time to review your fire safety arrangements, check your procedures, and ensure your premises remain protected, keeping your staff, customers, and property safe.

A fire risk assessment is far more than a box-ticking exercise.

It provides a clear understanding of the fire risks within your premises and helps ensure the right measures are in place to protect people, property, and business continuity.

A thorough assessment includes:

âś” Identifying potential fire hazards
âś” Assessing who may be at risk
âś” Reviewing existing fire safety measures
âś” Recommending practical improvements
âś” Supporting compliance with fire safety legislation

Every premises is different, which is why assessments should be tailored to the specific risks, layout, and activities of the building.

Taking a proactive approach to fire safety today can help prevent serious consequences tomorrow.

Hospitality venues face unique fire safety challenges.

Hotels, pubs, cafés and restaurants all have areas that can increase fire risk, including:

🔥 Commercial kitchens
⚡ Electrical equipment and appliances
🛏️ Guest accommodation
🪑 Furnishings, decorations and storage areas
đź‘Ą High levels of customer and staff footfall

A suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment helps identify hazards, protect occupants, support legal compliance, and minimise disruption to your business.

Creating a safe environment doesn’t just protect lives and property, it also helps ensure a positive experience for your customers and staff.

Early fire detection plays a critical role in protecting people, property, and business continuity. A well-maintained fire alarm system can provide valuable time for safe evacuation while helping to minimise damage in the event of a fire.

Regular testing, inspection, and maintenance of fire alarm systems are essential to ensure they perform when they’re needed most.

Managing an apartment block comes with a responsibility to keep residents safe.

Communal corridors, stairwells, electrical cupboards, bin stores, and fire doors all play a vital role in preventing the spread of fire and supporting safe evacuation in an emergency.

Regular fire risk assessments help identify potential hazards, ensure compliance with fire safety legislation, and provide reassurance that communal areas are being properly maintained.

Warmer weather can increase pressure on electrical systems through:
• Portable fans
• Temporary event equipment
• Outdoor catering appliances

Small issues can quickly become major fire hazards if left unchecked.

Regular checks and a suitable fire risk assessment can help identify concerns before they become dangerous.
