Fire Risk Assessment
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006. This new order
effectively amalgamated over 70 different pieces of Fire Safety Law.
Under this new Fire Safety legislation a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment must be in
place in any business that has more than 5 employees. It is the responsibility of the employer,
landlord, owner of the premises or managing agent to ensure this happens. Your Fire Safety Risk
Assessment should be the very heart of your fire safety policy and be the basis of any fire
protection measures that you put in place to protect your workforce and property.
Undertaking a Fire Risk Assessment is quite a daunting, time consuming exercise, particularly if
you have no experience in the field. It is recommended that you employ fire safety risk
assessment professionals to provide you with comprehensive information and written documentation
to ensure your business is fire safety compliant.
We provides Fire Risk Assessments carried out by qualified fire risk
assessors. Our business is based on trust so you can rest assured that our assessments will
provide an honest reflection of your current/existing fire safety protection measures. Our
reports are extremely user friendly and all remedial actions will be clearly explained in easy
to understand terminology. In nearly all our cases to date, we have been able to help our
customers with their action plan to ensure compliance with any recommendations noted in the FRA
report.
