The Fire Safety Management system provided utilises the latest assessment system tool, soon to be a British Standard.

Fire Safety Management is based on a thorough risk assessment of the business enabling you to comply with the new requirements of the RRO.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Since 1st October 2006 the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order- RRO has been in force, and is based on a comprehensive risk assessment.

Our Fire Safety Management System will enable your business to comply with the new requirements.

The areas assessed are:

The Building
Occupancy
Fire Hazards
Means of Escape
Fire Separation
Emergency Lights
Fire Exit Signage
Fire Detection and Warning Systems
Firefighting Equipment
Access and Facilities
Assessment of Risk
Significant Findings

This provides a framework to manage fire safety simply and effectively.

Enforcement

Fire Safety Officers are now under direct pressure from Central Government to 'enforce' the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This marks a change from the more helpful times before this new legislation.

Not meeting statutory requirements, like having acceptable Fire Risk Assessments, is liable to result in a summons.

Risk Assessments have in fact been required since 1997, so are not a recent innovation.
