Fire and the Workplace Services
As part of the Order, the designated responsible person must take general fire precautions, with regard to the safety of their employees, visitors, contractors, and anyone other persons who may be on site. These duties include:
- Identify & assess the sources of risk and identify who might be at risk
- Prepare a scheme to prevent / control the risk
- Provide and maintain fire precautions
- Provide information, instruction and training to all employees
- Keep records
If a fire occurs and a risk assessment has not been carried out, your company may face prosecution.
By observing the requirements of the Order, employers are minimising the risks to both their businesses and their staff whilst fulfilling their legal obligations.
It is also useful, following the risk assessment, to keep a logbook in which to record essential information, such as evacuation procedures, tests on fire fighting equipment, details of training sessions and results of fire drills.
Nemco are independent specialists in Fire Risk Management, offering unbiased advice and practical solutions to control the risk from Fire. Our Fire Risk Assessments have been developed to ensure full compliance with all current guidance.
Fire Risk Assessments may entitle you to a discount on your insurance premium.
