R & A Fire Risk Consultants Ltd

Conducting a fire risk assessment is not an option, it is a legal requirement in order to comply with the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order.

The safety of employees and visitors in the event of a fire rests with the responsible person of your organisation. The consequences of non-compliance could result in personal prosecutions. It is important to understand that fire risk assessment is not the same as a fire certificate.

Every business owner and employer must be able to demonstrate the following:

• All fire risks have been assessed and if 5 or more persons employed, then the results recorded with written Fire Risk Assessment.
• Records to show that fire fighting equipment has been provided, properly maintained and regularly inspected.
• An Emergency Action Plan has been written, confirmed and published.
• Staff have received fire training in the use of equipment & procedures in the event of fire.
• There are adequate means of fire detection, warning systems and escape routes in place to allow people to leave the building safely.
• Action plans have been formulated and signed off to indicate proposed completion dates and actual completion dates.

WHO SHOULD CARRY OUT THE RISK  ASSESSMENT…?

The person carrying out the fire risk assessment must be competent (knowledge, training and experience). That’s where we come in.

R&A Fire Risk Consultants Ltd will also review your fire risk assessment on an annual basis. This involves an additional site visit to assess the progress of items raised in the original fire risk assessment together with an audit to assess any changes affecting your working practices, building layout and any additional areas that may affect your legal compliance.
