Fire Risk Assessments

Why Fire Door Assessments are Important

When it comes to fire safety, there is no room for error. That’s why businesses across the country rely on fire risk assessment consultants to help them identify potential hazards and develop comprehensive plans for keeping their employees and property safe.

Fire risk assessment consultants are experts in identifying fire risks and developing strategies to mitigate those risks. They can conduct comprehensive assessments of your premises and identify any potential fire hazards.

They will also work with you to develop an evacuation plan and ensure that your employees are trained in how to safely evacuate in the event of a fire.

With the help of a fire risk assessment consultant, you can rest assured that your business is taking all the necessary steps to prevent a major disaster.

By thoroughly assessing your premises and implementing appropriate safety measures, you can help to ensure that your business is safe from the threat of fire. In the event of a fire, having a well-planned evacuation procedure in place can mean the difference between life and death.

Legality of a Fire Risk Assessment

By taking the time to conduct a fire risk assessment, you can give yourself and your employees the peace of mind of knowing that you are prepared for any eventuality.

It is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that businesses have in place and carry out on a routine basis a fire risk assessment. The responsible person for the premises (usually the employer, owner, or occupier) needs to carry out this assessment or appoint a competent person to carry it out on their behalf. These assessments are critical to ensuring that the property all structures, and staff members that are part of the business practice are safe and that risks are kept to a minimum.

A Fire Risk Assessment can go a long way in dramatically reducing the risk of fire on your premises and help ensure tenants, staff, employees, customers, and the general public are not at risk. This is the basic legal requirement for just about all businesses, organisations, and landlords. At Risk Safety Services, we’ve assessed every type of premises, from warehouses, homes, apartments, and schools, to high rise flats, stand alone structures, government buildings, and churches.

Our team of exerts has the training and experience to understand that every property is unique and every situation and business is different when it comes to its fire escape plans and assessment needs.
