To keep clients safe in your business’ outdoor area as the weather turns colder, be sure to handle patio heaters and gas supplies carefully, and place electrical lighting at a reasonable distance from outdoor furniture. These are the most common causes of outdoor fires in restaurants, bars and cafes (https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/safety/the-workplace/takeaways-cafes-and-restaurants/).
The LOFAssured initiative raises awareness of fire safety standards/regulations for garden furniture and ensures that furniture cushioning sold by LOFA (Leisure and Outdoor Furniture Association) members adhere to a strict code of conduct, part of which is rigorous testing and compliance with all current fire safety regulations.
