Fire Risk Assessments
|
It is a requirement for fire risk assessments to be carried in most places of work.
We can provide a cost effective package in undertaking this essential task. We will
provide you recommendations, where necessary, and in most cases provide the equipment/services
required to upgrade the standard of fire safety on your premises.
Fire Legislation
Fire legislation has undergone one of the most radical changes ever. Numerous pieces of fire legislation which often referred you to other legislation is now a thing of the past.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 launched in October 2006 simplifies fire legislation. One of the biggest changes is that the employer is now responsible for 'self regulation' and compliance with this new legislation.
Companies now have to undertake a fire risk assessment, take ownership of the fire risk assessment and ensure that all precautions have been taken to protect staff from the risk of fire.
- Fire Authorities have responsibility for enforcing this new legislation.
- Fire certificates will be abolished and have no legal status.
- The employer will be responsible for undertaking a fire risk assessment of their building and if they employ over five people then this has to be recorded. The fire risk assessment is not a one off document and needs to be reviewed regularly.
How ifast can help . . .
We can provide an experienced assessor who can undertake the fire risk assessment on you behalf. The assessor will initially liaise with your 'responsible person' and then undertake a full survey of the building. A report will then be compiled with findings and recommendations along with a timescale when the work should be completed, where applicable.
ifast would then work closely with you in providing a solution for any recommendations arising. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your individual requirements.
