Fire Risk Assessments
Bedford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire
A NEBOSH Fire Safety and Risk Management Approved assessor will carry out the assessment to include:
- Identification of fire risks
- Identification of persons at risk
- Methods in place to control the spread of fire
- Means of escape
- Fire related policies
- Fire related training
We would require access to all parts of the building along with sight of fire related policies, training and service records. The assessor will talk through their findings to formulate an agreed action plan, if it is considered improvements can sensibly be made to reduce the risk. The report is written up in the British Standard Institute PAS 79:2005 format.

New Fire Regulatory Reform Order
From 1st October 2006 the majority of workplaces and premises to which the public have access in the UK will be effected by this new Order which places fire safety responsibility for those working in and those close to or visiting, on a "responsible person". The responsible person must appoint a competent person to assist them and in turn they must be trained and /or accredited in their competency.This Order replaces the present system of fire safety certification and is based upon fire risk assessment that must be recorded where 5 or more people are employed on site, the premises are licensed, or an Inspector requires it.Failure to comply with the new Order can leave the responsible person open to recovery of any losses suffered by employees and imprisonment for up to 2 years.
