Fire Risk Assessments

The new Fire Safety Order, effective from 1st of October 2006, applies to all workplace premises in England and Wales and requires that:

• The Responsible person at any premise must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment carried out by a competent person*
• Appropriate risk based fire training must also be carried out on a regular basis, again by a competent person*

* The definition of competent is where a person has had sufficient training and or knowledge and other qualities to carry out that role

What is a fire risk assessment?

A fire risk assessment evaluates your premises in terms of fire safety hazards (to people and property). It also provides clear guidance including a prioritized action plan on how to minimize the risks.

How long does an assessment take?

The site visit is usually completed within a day. Once completed, you will be provided with an easy to understand report and a full briefing as part of the service.

Who does the assessment?

Our fire risk assessors are fully qualified fire officers with a minimum of 10 years in the Fire Brigade.

Why can’t I do the assessment myself?

You can, if you have the time and expertise to do it. Beware that for an untrained person a fire risk assessment can be time consuming and might not meet the legal requirements. You may want to consider leaving it to the professionals.

What Fire Safety Training will we need?

Whatever is recommended we will ensure that your company complies with the training requirements under fire safety legislation.
