Safety First with Barons’ High-Performance Fire-Retardant Fabrics
Businesses need to be aware that not all fabric suppliers follow the same guidelines when it comes to fire safety. Whether it is upholstered furniture, soft furnishings, or curtains, it is the responsibility of care home owners, facility managers, and those overseeing commercial or communal living environments to ensure that all fabrics used within their premises meet the relevant British Standard regulations. These regulations aren’t optional, either. They are a legal requirement.
It’s Not an Option; It’s the Law
The British Standard for Flame Retardancy is legislated to ensure optimum safety within commercial settings. Fabrics used in commercial settings, including care homes, senior living, and assisted living environments, are legally required to meet the British Standard for Flame Retardancy.
Ultimately, compliance will help keep you, your residents, and employees safe. Non-compliance, on the other hand, can lead to prosecution and even lawsuits by individuals seeking compensation for injuries or loss of life. It is important to note that pleading ignorance is not accepted as a defence.
To stay compliant, you should only buy from contract furniture manufacturers and soft furnishings suppliers like Barons.
