Fire Risk Assessment Company
Almost all those with control of non-domestic premises including employers, building owners or occupiers have a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment and keep it up to date. In most cases this will need to be documented.
The Fire Risk Assessment should consider:
emergency exits and safe routes
fire detection and warning systems
fire fighting equipment
the control and safe storage of dangerous substances
an emergency evacuation planthe needs of vulnerable people, for example the elderly, young children or those with disabilities
provision of information to staff and other people on the premises
employee fire safety training
A serious fire on your premises can be a significant risk to your businesses. With the potential to kill or seriously injure employees or visitors and damage or destroy buildings, equipment and stock.
Business operating from single premises are very vulnerable as loss of premises may completely disrupt their operations. A high proportion of business fail to continue trading following a severe fire.
Fire risk is increased where the business:
holds large inventories of combustible materials including flammable liquids or gases
uses heating processes such as gas cutting and welding
have people working alone in parts of a building
does not maintain equipment or electrical circuits
has frequent public access (i.e. risk from arson)
have failing housekeeping standards
