What About Asset Protection?

This month, we are delighted to talk all things asset protection with Sarah Brodie, Policy Adviser in the General Insurance team at the ABI. This episode explores the need to protect an organisations’ physical assets alongside the need for life protection. The law doesn't currently dictate any kind of property or business protection. People wrongly assume that the law will protect business assets in full, but this is not the case. In fact, fire services are not obliged to save a business asset in the event of a fire, once there is no longer a risk to life.How important is it that businesses build their organisational resilience to fire, and what are the consequences of failure to do so? Find out by listening in to this month’s episode. The themes discussed in this episode are central to the FPA’s Know Your Building campaign.

Om Podcasten

The Fire Protection Association is the UK's national fire safety organisation and works to identify the dangers of fire and help our clients reduce any fire-related risks. Now in its second series, our monthly podcast launched in February 2021 to provide a collective space in which industry leaders can explore the most pressing issues in fire safety and share expert information and advice. Following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, the conversation around fire safety in the UK has gathered pace. Despite this, however, more still needs to be done to ensure that the tragic consequences of Grenfell and many other major fires are not repeated. Featuring leading experts from across the sector and hosted alternately by the FPA’s respected fire safety professionals, Assembly Point has a growing audience of 600+ listeners and aims to move the debate on fire safety forwards by identifying new ways to work together to improve standards.
