The 1999 amendment to the
Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 and the Management
of Health and Safety at Work Regulations now mean that virtually
all employers and property managers must assess the risk
of fire in their premises and any with five or more employees
must record the assessment in writing. This emphasises that
responsibility for fire safety now rests firmly with the
employer or person in control of the premises, with less
reliance on the Fire Authorities to issue fire certificates.
Our Fire Risk Assessment involves a thorough investigation
of the property and the management systems to include:-
- Management of Fire Safety
- Means of Escape
- Signs and Notices
- General and Emergency Lighting
- Detecting a Fire
- Raising the Alarm
- Fire Fighting Equipment
- Structural Features
- Ignition Risks
- Training
- Documentation
