FIRE SAFETY
What is Fire Safety?
In order to comply with the requirements of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, businesses need to carry out Fire Risk Assessments.
We have specialist Fire Risk Assessors as part of our consultancy team. They are experienced ex fire-fighters trained in carrying out Fire Risk Assessments to meet the requirements of PAS 79-1:2020.
We would be happy to quote for completing a comprehensive risk assessment to this specification.
We have carried out Fire Risk Assessments for various organisations and have also been commissioned to undertake Fire Risk Assessments by individuals looking to sell leasehold properties within blocks of flats or Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
Fire Alarms in the Workplace
Many insurers are now insisting that both Intruder Alarms and Fire Alarms must have a maintenance contract in place, and be periodically maintained.
If you have a fire alarm system that directly alerts the Fire Station, you should be aware that the Association of Fire Chief Officers has recommended the implementation of a measure of false alarms from April 2008.
They are troubled by about 50% false alarms from business users, and may decline to respond from an automated system and await a 999 if there is a history of false alarms.
Now is the time to have your fire system checked, if you have this type.
