Fire Risk Assessments - Meeting Your Safety Responsibilities

Fire Risk Assessments - Meeting Your Safety Responsibilities We never know what might lie ahead, but we can make sure we are prepared for every eventuality. Fire Risk Assessments are a vital safety procedure for any non-domestic premises and you have a legal responsibility to make sure that you have an up to date Fire Risk Assessment, carried out by a professional risk assessor in London & Essex. The new fire safety legislation states the necessity for risk assessors to undertake a full assessment on every building used for workers, customers or members of the public - it also applies to landlords who rent houses. Fire Risk Assessments Training is designed to identify fire hazards and individuals in danger, evaluate these risks and produce a document of the findings. There is a responsibility to regularly review the risk assessment and make revisions for changes in circumstances or new potential hazards - as with the original assessment, fully trained risk assessors should be used. Having a proper Fire Risk Assessments Training doesn't mean that you are complying with the law and keeping people (including yourself) safe - your risk assessor will help you to manage your premises to the safest of standards, which in turn could help you to receive a better deal on your business insurance. Even in the event of an inescapable fire, a thorough risk assessment will give you more effective methods of control and evacuation, limiting risk to personal injury and death.

While legislation states that there has to be at least 'responsible person' in charge of assessments and maintenance of fire safety equipment on your premises, employing the services of a


professional assessor, on at least a yearly basis, will put you in the best position for ensuring compliance and minimising risk. Professional Fire Risk Assessor will work alongside the nominated 'responsible person' to over our comprehensive health checks on all of your fire safety equipment, including alarms, extinguishers, escape routes and emergency lighting. Any concerns of non-compliance that assessors find will be discussed with you in detail and they will advise you of the necessary steps that you require to take in order to rectify them. The risk assessment document that they provide because of their visit can be submitted to your insurance company to demonstrate that your property has been assessed and that you are meeting your legal obligations. Fire Risk Assessors can often be booked at short notice in London & Essex, so if you don't have a Fire Risk Assessment in place, find the number of a qualified fire risk assessor today and arrange for a visit - don't leave it until it is late.
