Fire Safety

The Regulatory Reform Order (fire safety) 2005 states that it is a legal requirement for businesses to have a fire risk assessment of their premises conducted and written by a 'competently trained person'. It also requires employers to provide fire prevention training for their staff i.e Fire Awareness or Fire Marshall training where appropriate.

Failure to comply with this legislation can result in large fines and in some cases up to 2 years imprisonment. Many businesses suffer personal injury to staff or public, loss of production and on occasions loss of premises; sadly some never recover.

It is important therefore, that all businesses have an up to date Fire risk Assessment and suitable Fire training. People's actions in the event of fire are critical. The prevention of personal injury, fire spread. safety of colleagues and members of the public is paramount, therefore excellent quality fire training is a fundamental necessity.
