The Business Sprinkler Alliance (BSA) is a coalition organisation established in 2010 that aims to increase the number of businesses that have fire sprinklers fitted in their premises.

The BSA advocates greater resilience on the part of businesses, trying to drive a culture change that means sprinklers are accepted as standard for the UK’s commercial and industrial premises.

They seek to tackle the losses to business through fire. An independent study of CEBR found that warehouses without sprinkler systems result in a direct financial loss to business of £230 m per year.

The founding members of BSA include:

* National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC).
* National Fire Sprinkler Network (NFSN).
* European Fire Sprinkler Network (EFSN).
* Fire Protection Association (FPA).
* British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA).
* FM Global.

In September 2017, BSA published a report ‘The impact of automatic sprinklers on building design’.
