After the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) came into force on the 1st of October 2006, all business must now carry out a Fire Safety Risk Assessment.

The aims of the RRFSO are to:

  • Detail the prevention of fires through risk reduction
  • Makes it the business owners responsibility to ensure the safety of anyone using the premises and those in the immediate vicinity
  • Removes the requirement for fire certificates

You will need to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment if you are:

  • An employer
  • A landlord or a managing agent of a property with multiple occupancy
  • Responsible for managing the common-access areas of flats, maisonettes or house in multiple occupancy

Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd recognise the importance of this and offer the following service:

  • Asses and explain to you what you have to do to comply with fire safety law; and
  • Assist you to carry out a Fire Safety Risk Assessment and identify the general fire precautions you need to have in place, including an action plan if applicable
  • Provide training to a nominated person(s) in carrying out routine a Fire Safety Risk Assessment

The Fire Safety Risk Assessment consists of the following areas:

  • Identify potential fire risks and hazards
  • Check any existing fire detection and warning systems
  • Asses and walk through current escape routes, evacuation procedures and emergency plan
  • Asses what current fire training is given
  • Asses the frequency of fire safety equipment servicing

Once this is completed a full report is produced with guidelines on areas of improvement, if applicable, for you to be compliant with the law.

Where relevant we will offer additional training on:

  • Fire drills and escape routes
  • Creating an effective emergency plan
  • Frequency fire safety equipment should be serviced
  • The responsibilities of your nominated ‘Fire Safety Representative’ member of staff
