With pubs expected to be a great deal busier during the World Cup, the London Fire Brigade is warning licensees to check their pubs are safe from fire this summer.

The law places the responsibility for fire safety in the hands of employers and other people who have control of premises such as landlords, so having an understanding of fire safety and the role they have to play is at the heart of good business management. The safety of customers should be of paramount importance to landlords, and they face prosecution if their pub falls foul of fire laws.

Licensees can find out more about fire legislation from their local fire safety regulation team; visit the London Fire Brigade website to find your local team or contact the Admiral team if you have any other queries.
