Top fire risk assessments firms? The Fire Safety Order (FSO) applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 replacing over 70 pieces of fire safety law. The order applies to common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupations (hmos). We provide professional assistance, guidance and support to ensure that employers and tenants meet their legal responsibilities under Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. There are a number of fire risk assessment requirements that need to be met and checks that need to be carried out to ensure you are compliant with current law. During the assessment of fire risk, our assessors will look at a number of things such as: We will identify any potential fire hazards, Then we’ll identify the people at risk, We’ll then evaluate, remove or reduce any identified risks, Any findings will be recorded, a plan put in place and training provided, Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed and carried out regularly.

We work closely with our clients from start to finish to ensure they are fully aware of their buildings current health and safety status and any improvements that might need making.

The fire safety process always starts with a fire risk assessment. If your knowledge or experience with fire doors is limited you can contact us for advise as to when you would need to appoint a ‘competent person’ to help with your fire door requirements. If you’re not sure if your risk assessment has been carried out properly, your local fire and rescue authority might be able to give you advice, although they can’t carry out risk assessments for you. Therefore, It is important to get a Certificated Fire Door Safety Inspection carried out in your premises to ensure all components of your fire doors are compliant with fire safety legislations.
