Fire Risk Assessment

We can do your Fire Risk Assessment for you

Fire Risk Assessment is at the heart of modern Fire Safety

• Do you have a Fire Risk Assessment
  • Is it up to date?
  • Do you know where it is?
• Have you addressed all issues raised in the Fire Risk Assessment?

If you cannot answer yes to each of these questions, then you may need our help.

Let us help you with your Fire Risk Assessment

Our Fire Risk Assessors have considerable experience of a range premises, including offices, shops, church halls, exhibition venues, social clubs, warehouses, industrial units, retail outlets, shopping centres, garages, workshops, care homes, academies, colleges, schools, blocks of flats and other residential accommodation.

In England and Wales, if you’re an employer, owner, landlord or occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, you’re responsible for fire safety and are known as the ‘responsible person’.  As the responsible person, there are certain things you must do by law under the Fire Safety Order, which is enforced by your local Fire and Rescue service.  The ‘responsible person’ must:

• carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment
• tell the staff and their representatives about the risks you’ve identified
• put in place, and maintain, adequate and appropriate fire safety measures
• plan for an emergency
• provide staff information, fire safety instruction, and training

Do you need help with your Fire Risk Assessment?

We have an excellent team to assist you with Fire Safety, including carrying out your Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). They are a legal requirement and can help your business to identify (and overcome) possible dangers and risks. There are five steps to completing a Fire Risk Assessment:

1. Identify fire hazards
2. Identify people at risk
3. Evaluate, remove or reduce, and protect from risk
4. Record, plan, inform, instruct, and train
5. Review the fire risk assessment regularly

Your Fire Risk Assessments must be up to date. When visiting your premises, the Fire Officer will ask to see a copy of your Fire Risk Assessment. Failure to have a suitable, sufficient and up to date, Fire Risk Assessment in place could result in enforcement action being taken against your company. We can carry out Fire Risk Assessments for you – we work to the nationally recognised standard PAS79: 2012

Don’t fall foul of enforcement action

Don’t get caught on the back foot by the Fire Officer – we can help you to take a proactive approach to fire safety.  We will ensure that you have a Fire Risk Assessment in place and that you are keeping suitable and sufficient records to show that you are managing fire safety at your premises.

The Fire and Rescue services are visiting more organisations and checking their fire safety arrangements, particularly their fire risk assessment. Lack of a Fire Risk Assessment is leading to enforcement action.

Failure to address the essential responsibilities of completing fire risk assessments means that businesses are not only breaking the law but also failing to manage the hazards at their premises.

Fire Safety Testimonial

I would just like to say thank you to LRB Consulting, and to Christian especially, for his great work today on our fire safety training.

This has been great for everyone involved. My staff at City Gate including myself were very impressed with Christian’s knowledge and with the training. Everyone took well to the training and came away with more insight to fire safety. Thank you again and could you please give Christian a big thank you from us all at City Gate.
