A Legal Requirement, Made Easy
Fire Risk Assessments are a legal requirement for all UK businesses and organisations. If you employ five or more people it must be documented and available for inspection. The basic requirement is that each organisation must identify and nominate an individual as the ‘responsible person’. That person’s duty is then to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to eliminate the risk of fire on the premises. The responsibility is for all the individuals that work at the premises AND visitors.
We will arrange a mutually convenient time to visit your premises where we will carry out a thorough Fire Risk Assessment of your premises. We will then provide you with a report detailing our finding with any improvements that may be required.
The Fire Risk Assessment Process
To conduct the fire risk assessment, our fire risk assessor will visit your premises and undertake a comprehensive evaluation of all areas of the property looking at all areas of fire safety and risk in detail. This would include:
- Property age & condition
- Persons at risk
- Potential fire safety hazards and risk, ignition sources & combustible materials
- Fire prevention & management
- Fire safety signage
- Fire safety equipment & maintenance
- Fire safety training & drills
- Means of escape in the event of fire
- Deficiencies in existing fire safety & risk precautions
- An evaluation of your existing emergency fire procedures, training & drills
The Fire Safety Assessment Report
After the fire assessment we will provide you with a comprehensive written report that is insurance approved. The report comprises a detailed and documented fire risk assessment covering all aspects of fire risk and safety, and helps you to protect your business, employees and customers by providing prioritised recommendations for action to rectify problem areas and strengthen existing fire safety procedures to ensure that you comply with fire safety regulations.
