Our Services
Fire Risk Assessment
A Fire Risk Assessment is a formal review of a premises to identify fire hazards, decide who could be harmed, evaluate the risks, and put measures in place to prevent fire and protect people if a fire occurs. For businesses, this is not just good practice; it is a legal duty. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that a fire risk assessment is carried out and regularly reviewed. Responsibility can fall on an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or another person with control of the premises, such as a facilities manager.
Fire Door Audits and Inspections
A fire door audit is a structured inspection of a building's Fire Doors in order to check that they are present where the fire strategy requires them, are in suitable condition, and will be able to resist fire and smoke as designed. Under Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure that the premises and any facilities, equipment and devices provided under the Order are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are kept in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
A Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan is vital as it protects people, assets, and the business's ability to continue operating. The importance of implementing a comprehensive emergency response plan ensures safety, reduces evacuation time, ensures compliance with legal standards, and demonstrates corporate responsibility. By proactively investing in the development, implementation, and regular review of such a plan, businesses can significantly mitigate the devastating impact of fire and other emergencies.
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP)
PEEPs are required for employees with disabilities or additional needs and are developed through risk assessments and consultations, to ensure safe evacuation and legal compliance. UK legislation, mainly the Fire Safety Order 2005, mandates that PEEPs should be implemented when individuals cannot evacuate safely or unaided, ensuring safety and legal compliance during fires. The Equality Act 2010 also requires employers to implement reasonable adjustments for disabled persons or persons with additional needs.
