If your fire risk assessment is due, overdue or you’re simply not confident that your current arrangements are up to scratch, leave it to Foley and Baugh.
If your business premises need a fire risk assessment, it’s not something you’ll want to put off. More importantly, it’s not a box-ticking exercise. A properly carried out assessment could identify potential problems before they turn into a serious incident, helping you protect your employees, visitors, customers and premises.
At Foley and Baugh, we carry out professional fire risk assessments for businesses across East Anglia. We’ll take an objective look at your premises, identify the risks and help you understand what needs to be done to keep your people safe.
The responsibility for ensuring fire safety rests with the person responsible for the premises. Depending on the business and its arrangements, that might be an employer, building owner, landlord or another person with control of the premises. While you can carry out a fire risk assessment yourself, it needs to be suitable and sufficient, and you need the right level of knowledge and competence to do it properly.
That’s where using an experienced fire risk assessor can make life much easier. We won’t simply provide a generic report that could apply to any building. Your fire risk assessment needs to reflect your actual premises, how the premises are used and the people who use them. We’ll consider factors such as a building’s layout and construction, electrical installations, sources of ignition, means of escape, fire detection and warning systems, emergency arrangements and existing fire precautions.
We’ll also highlight areas where improvements may be needed, giving you a clearer picture of your current fire safety arrangements and what you can do to reduce risk.
Fire safety legislation places important responsibilities on those in control of premises, so getting your fire risk assessment right matters. It should also be reviewed when circumstances change, rather than being treated as a document that can simply be filed away and forgotten.
Foley and Baugh provide professional, practical fire risk assessments tailored to our clients’ business, helping you take a sensible approach to fire safety and giving you greater confidence that the risks have been properly considered.
