Why Is Fire Risk Assessment Important For Business Owners
A fire risk assessment is a very important part in making as well as maintaining your work place a safe environment for your employees. Not only will it determine the fire hazards within your establishments, but it will also determine the right actions needed to be undertaken to prevent such untoward incidents as having fire in your business location. After the fire risk assessment has been conducted, it will definitely give you and your employees the assurance of having a safe business place and having the appropriate equipment to prevent such fire incidents to occur.
This is exactly the reason why fire risk assessment is not only an advisable precautionary step for business owners, rather a mandatory step as contained in the UK Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order of 2005 or FSO. With UK’s bustling economy and industrialized cities, it is only a responsible act for business owners to conduct such fire risk assessment within their work places. Not only will it help them assess the hazards that may be found inside their establishments, but more importantly, it will help them save lives in the future. Read more
Radical Thinking
When was the last time you thought about taking your business to new and heady heights, but didn’t actually get any further? Don’t worry, you are not alone.
There’s plenty of business owners out there who let their brains stand in the way of fundamental changes in their business. We either think that we can’t do it, or we don’t know how to do it. Sound familiar?
If you want to do more than grow incrementally then you need to get into some radical thinking. It’s pretty easy to set a goal of selling 10% more, or getting 5 more customers. This is what I call an incremental target (meaning….just a little bit more than last time). This is better than not having any targets, but it does tend to leave you well inside your comfort zone.
Let’s talk about radical targets.
To achieve a radical target implies completely altering the ways things are done, and potentially introducing a new paradigm into the business. To set a radical target you need to make a leap of faith and suspend the part of your brain that reminds you you don’t know how to achieve it.
