Fire Risk Assessment

Any business that employs 5 or more people is required by law to have an up to date written Fire Risk Assessment.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 affects all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including the common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).  More commonly known as the Fire Safety Order (FSO), it covers almost all fire safety related legislation.

The law applies to you if you are:

• responsible for business premises
• an employer or self-employed with business premises
• responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
• a charity or voluntary organisation
• a contractor with a degree of control over any premises
• providing accommodation for paying guests
• if there is any kind of licence in force

At Fire Safety Specialists Ltd we have years of experience in helping businesses undertake Fire Risk Assessment  to identify issues and develop fire safety management plans, which help to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a fire that may result in death, injury, or property damage.

Is your building safe from fire risk? Can you identify fire hazards? Would you know how to evacuate the building if a fire broke out?

Since October 2006 the Fire Safety Order which came into force puts the emphasis on preventing fires and reducing risk.  Assessing whether your building is at risk can be a daunting task. Our Fire Safety Consultants, who have worked in senior positions at Fire Safety Departments across the UK, can quickly and accurately assess any fire risk to your premises.

Our in-depth fire risk assessments of your premises can help to uncover hazards that may have existed for some time.  Once we’ve completed the assessment we can also deliver training courses to help you: 

• understand the relevant fire safety legislation
• have appropriate education, training, knowledge and experience in the principles of fire safety
• have an understanding of fire development and the behaviour of people in fire
• understand the fire hazards, fire risks and relevant factors associated with the occupants at special risk within the building of the type in question, and
• have appropriate training and/or experience in carrying out Fire Risk Assessments.
