How to report a risk.

in a building you visit, work or live in, we want to know about it.

Always call 999 in an emergency.

Common examples

  • Locked or blocked fire exits in commercial or residential properties
  • Unsafe storage of chemicals or flammable materials
  • Beds in areas with inadequate escape routes, for example in a takeaway basement with only one exit via the kitchen

What we don't investigate

  • Bonfires in gardens - these are the responsibility of the Environmental Health department of your local council

  • 'Beds in sheds' - you can report these to your local council

  • If you're not sure about the risk, play it safe and make a report to us. If a different organisation needs to look into it we'll let you know.
