FIRE SAFETY

Audits | Fire Risk Assessments | Fire Plans

When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, everyone has a shared responsibility to ensure that major incidents can be avoided. However, this requires a dedicated approach to risk management across all levels of an organisation. Anyone assigned fire safety responsibilities, including managers, supervisors, and employees, has a duty of care for those around them. Despite this, many of these individuals lack sufficient Fire Safety and Awareness training.

By completing this Fire Safety training, individuals can become more attentive towards hazards in the workplace and ultimately save lives.

Fire Risk Assessments

A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement. If you are responsible for a building or a premise, for example an employer, owner or occupier of premises that isn’t a ‘single private dwelling’ (a private home), you need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment, and this is kept under review.

Fire Safety Management Plans

A Fire Safety Management Plan should contain details such as day-to-day running of the premises relating to tests, service and maintenance of all active and passive fire safety measures, i.e. fire doors, fire alarm system, emergency lighting and sprinklers. In addition, it should include details of emergency actions and information for residents / building users.

Fire Safety Management For Newly Constructed / Amended Premises

Stage 1 to provide comment on the active and passive fire safety measures requirements necessary for the premises. Often additional information is required such as;
• Copy of design & access statement submitted with planning application
• Copy of Mechanical & Electrical drawings
• Details of sprinkler specifications
• Details of potential occupancy, e.g. disabled, over 55, etc.
• Height of building

Stage 2 to provide pre-handover advice which is beneficial to the client. It involves a site visit carried out near the completion of the building works and the final completion visit with the building contractors and local building control. This provides an opportunity to check testing and operation of the fire alarm and emergency lighting and to snag any minor defects on fire doors, fire signage, etc.

Stage 3 to provide building occupancy advice and to undertake the premises Fire Risk Assessment. Also provided is compliance guidance and assistance to designated responsible persons who may be involved in looking after the building once it is handed over and occupied.
