Fire Risk Assessment
REGULATORY REFORM (FIRE SAFETY) ORDER 2005
The regulatory reform order will become law in October 2006 and this will have major implications for how fire safety is controlled in premises by both occupiers and the Fire Authorities.
Each premises must have a "suitable and sufficient" fire risk assessment completed by a competent person. Where the premises has five or more employees, then a record must be made of the significant findings.
ABC Fire Protection can conduct a full fire risk assessment of your premises, by assessors who are members of the Institute of Fire Prevention Officers, associates of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management and experienced ex fire service officers, to establish your current situation within the following areas:-
- Combustible, Flammable and Ignition Hazards
- Electrical Safety Hazards
- Active and Passive Fire Protection
- Evacuation and Escape Routes
- Fire Warning System
- Emergency Lighting System
- Fire Fighting Equipment
- Staff Training
- Arson Preparedness
- Contractors and Visitors
- Management Systems and Record Keeping
A full report is prepared identifying any areas of concern. This is followed up by the production of an Action Plan, giving recommendations for improvement and prioritising the work required. |
