DID YOU KNOW?
About Fire Safety in the Workplace – UK Fire Safety legislation requires that all businesses and organisations must carry out a fire risk assessment regardless of the type or size of the premises.
Fire certificates are no longer valid and are no longer issued by the Fire Authority. Failure to comply can lead to prosecution, severe penalties or imprisonment.
Fire assessment risk – the fire safety assessment is competitively priced depending on type, size and location of premises.
WHAT IS A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is the foundation of any Fire Safety Management system and is more than just a fire safety checklist.
We obtain information about persons on the premises and the building. We assess all fire hazards and determine who is at risk, especially those more vulnerable. We look at existing fire protection on the premises and the means of escape from fire. We determine the risk level of the premises and produce the assessment report with findings and state a date for review.

qualified and accredited assessor is looking at when conducting and writing a complete fire safety risk assessment.
What is the legal requirement for fire risk assessments?
UK Fire Safety Law – A suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is a LEGAL Requirement
Legislation
A fire risk assessment is a mandatory legal requirement. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which applies in England and Wales, states the fire risk assessment must be suitable and sufficient, to be
reviewed regularly and to make changes if this is necessary, if there are changes in the processes or personnel, or if the premises are altered.
The Fire Safety Order (2005) places emphasis on preventing fires and reducing risk. Completed fire risk assessments must be recorded in full of all findings – where previously only specific information was required to be recorded. Record fire safety arrangements on the premises – demonstrate how fire safety is managed in your premises.
