Fire Risk Assessment & Training

Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessments have been with us for over 13 years!

In their present format the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England & Wales; the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and (currently) the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 soon to be the Fire & Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 deals with the requirement for an employer, an occupier or owner of a premises to carry out a fire risk assessment.

There is ample guidance available mostly free however the carrying out of the risk assessment is not an easy task and should include a review of all hazards in the workplace and how those hazards may affect the people working there; the risk.

Our consultants conduct an in depth audit of your premises, will provide advice and guidance when doing so and then produce a comprehensive report of the likely hazards, how these are being managed and where identified the action points that will need to be addressed.

All our consultants are fully qualified and hold acknowledged qualifications in fire engineering as well as significant experience in the field.

Every fire risk assessment is unique, it needs to be by law! It is therefore difficult to generalise on cost, there are a number of options open to clients and we can discuss the most optimum plan to suit your needs.

Don’t delay; you should have a fire risk assessment in place now, which should be up to date, remember a fire officer can knock on your door at any time – the punitive effects of a prosecution far outweigh the relatively small outlay to be legal.

Training

The fire safety legal framework for the UK requires all employees to be trained in fire safety awareness and for the duty holder to appoint persons to assist with the fire safety arrangements ‘fire wardens’ who should receive additional training to equip them to carry out this role.

Persons appointed to manage are also required to be trained in their duties with respect to fire safety in premises.

All training, by law, must be given to a new employee on appointment, existing employees must be trained when their duties change i.e. when being transferred, when new systems of work are introduced, when new equipment or technology affects the training already provided.

All training must be repeated periodically.
