Top PAT testing firms? Why do it? A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement. If you are responsible for a building, for example a employer, owner or occupier of premises that aren’t a ‘single private dwelling’ (a private home), you need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment. It is your duty to identify fire risks and hazards in your premises and take appropriate action. In addition, if five or more people work at your premises or your business has a licence under enactment in force, you’ll need your fire risk assessment to be a written record. Make sure you review your risk assessment regularly and whenever significant changes have been made that would have an impact on it. It’s good business sense as well as a legal requirement, often businesses don’t recover after a fire, and effective fire prevention starts with properly understanding the risks.
What is a Fire Risk Assessment? A fire risk assessment is a process that involves assessing factors that could lead to a fire and how hazardous they are. The assessment will not only cover which factors are hazardous but how dangerous they are and what could happen if a fire broke out. Our fire risk assessors use both qualitative and quantitative fire risk assessment methods. Our consultants have many years of professional hands-on experience and include consultants who are members of the Institution of Fire Engineers and assessors who have completed the NEBOSH Fire Certificate.
We work closely with our clients from start to finish to ensure they are fully aware of their buildings current health and safety status and any improvements that might need making. Our HSE consultants regularly work in and around the Middlesbrough area and can also cover the rest of the UK too. A Health and Safety Audit is classified by HSE Guidelines for Best Practice as: “The collection of independent information on the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the total health and safety management system and drawing up plans for corrective action.” To ensure health and safety compliance we follow these three steps.
