In the operation of any business, fire risk assessment can easily become one of the tasks that will be done ‘tomorrow’. Restricted budgets and pressures to get things done force business managers to complete this task by staff not competent or experienced in fire or risk assessment. This decision could have catastrophic effects with over 580 people dying in the UK from fire related injuries.
Legislation is in a transitional phase within the workplace with the removal of fire certificates and increased liability upon the named ‘responsible person’. Corporate manslaughter is a legal reality therefore employers must ensure that their risk assessments are conducted by legally competent personnel otherwise they may feel the full force of the judicial system. Fire Prevention can conduct these fire risk assessments on you behalf with competent, qualified staff in order to ensure your compliance with fire safety legislation. We allow you to concentrate on your core business and competencies while you allow us to concentrate on ours. If you are unsure as to your level of competency in fire, you need to contact us in order that we can ensure that you, your colleagues and business is safe from fire.
