Fire Risk Assessments
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety Regulations (NI) 2010 require the responsible person to undertake a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for any premises that are not single private domestic dwellings.
Competency is fundamental in undertaking fire risk assessments. Responsible persons need to decide who has suitable training, experience and knowledge to perform these assessments – not always an easy task.
Experience
Our assessors are all qualified fire safety specialists. Many have over 25 years' experience with a county fire service, including a background in fire safety enforcement.
The savings they have delivered... have paid for the initial fire risk assessments five times over.
Qualifications
Many of our assessors are either members or graduates of the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE). Our team regularly review legal precedents, British Standard revisions and developments in fire safety legislation, meaning you receive the most up-to-date advice possible.
