Fire risk assessments and fire legislation

All business premises, regardless of their size, require a fire risk assessment; these are sometimes referred to as a fire risk safety assessment, or risk assessment for fire. This important legal obligation, which is required as part of fire legislation under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO), identifies if current fire precautions are adequate, and highlights areas that may be missing or currently not covered by suitable fire precautions.

What’s included?

The fire safety risk assessment covers a number of areas including checking extension sockets are not overloaded, fire exit doors are accessible, cables are suitably covered etc. The result is a written fire risk assessment report which provides details of problem areas and suitable suggestions to implement to reduce the fire risk.

Minimal interruption

A fire safety risk assessment can be undertaken during normal working hours; the experienced and knowledgeable assessor from Abbot Fire Group will undertake the risk assessment for fire with minimal interruption to your business; your business can carry on with its day to day work, whilst the assessment is taking place.

Reporting back

The comprehensive fire risk assessment report, which will also include digital photographs to avoid any confusion and doubt, will usually be delivered 2-3 days after the risk assessment has been undertaken. Obviously, if there are any clear and immediate fire risk dangers, then the assessor will highlight them on his visit.

Of course, we are able to provide the solutions to most areas that may currently be lacking in order to meet current fire legislation.
