Our Approach
We will conduct a comprehensive FRA for your premises, assessing the level of fire
risk for all areas. This includes fire detection and warning systems, fire fighting
provisions, means of escape, planning for emergencies, emergency lights and maintenance.
On completion of the FRA and agreement to the remedial actions your business can
be assured that your workplace/premises complies with the RRFSO.
Our safety advisors are qualified safety professional that conduct comprehensive
FRA in accordance with the legislation. In addition to our training and experience
we apply our own proprietary software toolsets to ensure the risk assessments are
systematic, fully informed and fully recorded.
When carrying out the fire risk assessment our services can include:
- Visual inspections and maintenance of fire safety provisions
- Sound and lighting assessments
- Risk evaluation (identifying all reasonably foreseeable hazards and determining
the risk level)
- Risk reduction (acheiving ALARP) - we take wach risk and determine the reasonably
practicable risk reduction measures that could be brought to bear
- Evacuation assessment
- Floor plans including fire plan (highlighting fire safety measures) and evacuation
plans
- Fire safety management
- Staff fire safety training (including fire safety awareness, fire wardens and bespoke
courses)
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO)
The legal requirements governing fire safety procedures are set out in the RRFSO.
This legislation came into effect in October 2006 and consolidates over 70 previous
legal requirements on fire safety.
Fire certificates are no longer required. Instead all business premises in England
and Wales must undertake a ‘suitable and sufficient’ fire risk assessment.
The law applies to you if you are:
- responsible for business premises
- an employer with business premises
- responsible for a part of a dwelling
- a charity or voluntary organisation
- a contractor with a degree of control over any premises
Under the Order, the responsible person must carry out or appoint a competent person
to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment and implement and maintain a fire management
plan
