Get up to speed with regulations and laws

While you may think your organization will be covered in the event of an emergency, do your methods of notifying people of an emergency truly cover all types of people who may use your building? For example, did you know there are estimated to be nearly 9 million people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing in the UK?

For those in charge of public spaces, this is an especially important point to note – as you never know, an emergency might strike when there are hard-of-hearing people or people with disabilities on your premises. To minimize the exposure of your organization, it's important for 'responsible persons' to be up to speed with the following regulations and laws.
