Regulatory Reform Order - Fire Risk Assessments
A Fire Risk Assessment is not an option - it is now a legal requirement.
Root3 specialise in carrying out on-site Fire Risk Assessments for customers using assessors fully certified and trained at the Fire Protection Association's own Training College, ensuring that both you and your company are totally compliant with the new legislation. If you consider that 70% of companies suffering a serious fire never re-open (or close within 3 years) and that failure to comply with the law carries both civil and criminal liability, then your next step should be to contact Root3.
Our certified assessors will carry out a five-step process covering all of the following aspects:-
Step 1) Identify all fire hazards
- Sources of ignition
- Sources of fuel
- Work processes
Step 2) Identify the location
- People in and around the premises
- People especially at risk
Step 3) Evaluate the risks
- Checking that the existing fire safety measures are adequate including:-
- Control of ignition sources/sources of fuel
- Fire detection/warning
- Means of escape
- Means of fighting fire
- Maintenance and testing of fire precautions
- Fire safety training for employees
- Carry out all improvements needed
Step 4) Record findings and action taken
- Prepare emergency plan
- Inform, instruct and train employees in fire precautions
Step 5) Keep assessment under review
- Revise if situation changes
Your fire strategy should therefore be to take all of these responsibilities into consideration...
