Why Do You Need a Fire Risk Assessment

Did you know that as of 1st October 2023, it is a legal requirement to have an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment for your workplace, regardless of how many employees you have.

Failure to provide this may lead to loss of insurance claims, fines and even prosecution.

Guaranteed Best Price

Our business model enables us to keep our costs low, which means we can guarantee the most competitive price within the North West. We believe that you won’t find a cheaper quotation but if you do, we’ll beat it.

What’s included:-

• A comprehensive inspection of your premises at a time convenient for you.
• An on-site consultation with you or nominated staff member to talk through your fire safety arrangements and offer on the spot advice and assistance to help you identify any immediate risk critical issues.
• A detailed Fire Risk Assessment Report that will assist you to comply with your legal obligations under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. This includes an action plan, enabling you to priorities any improvement measures that need to be implemented.

We take the time to learn about your business, your building, and how you operate, to best understand the day-to-day risks.

Having a professional background in the Fire Service gives our assessor the advantage of understanding how fire grows and importantly, how people behave in fire. This combined with fire safety experience over three decades allows us to provide a comprehensive overview of your current fire safety measures and importantly, what if anything you may need to do to improve.

What we assess.

We undertake fire risk assessments for small and medium sized buildings (less than 11m in height)

Our cost efficient model means we do not undertake fire risk assessments of complex buildings. Following the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, insurance restrictions across the industry mean we are no longer able to investigate or undertake assessments of the external cladding/external wall construction.

What are the benefits of a Fire Risk Assessment?

It’s a legal obligation, but regardless of that when it comes to fire, prevention is always better than cure and this is the remit and aim of a Fire Risk Assessment.

Fire risk assessments can help to demonstrate that you have taken reasonable steps to protect your property and people from fire, which can help reduce your risk of legal liability in the event of a fire.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service conducted a survey and found after a disaster such as fire:

• 25% of Businesses never reopen.
• 80% of companies who don’t recover in a month are likely to go out of business.
• 75% of businesses without business continuity plans fail within 3 years.

The Legislation

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 imposes requirements on the ‘Responsible Person’ to take such general fire precautions as will ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable the safety from fire of any of their employees or other relevant persons.

The principal requirement is to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed.

A relevant person is any person (including the responsible person) who is or may be lawfully on the premises, including any person in the immediate vicinity of the premises, who may be at risk from a fire on the premises.
