Fire protection and control measures

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 demands that the owner of a business must carry out a fire safety assessment and implement measures to counteract any threats and hazards identified via this process. Fire safety equipment should not just be installed as a tick box exercise to satisfy legal needs, but to fully protect all individuals associated with the business along with company assets.

Any preventative and protective measures should be carried out by a professional fire company who will have the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure that the right actions are taken in the right locations for the right reasons. Business owners may not have the time to focus fully on what fire protection and control measures are required to meet their buildings fire safety requirements, this is where the engineers at Surefire can help.

We are able to undertake a fire safety assessment for a business to:

• Identify the fire hazards which are within the property.
• Identify people at risk within the premises.
• Evaluate and manage the risks by removing or reducing them.

Our fire safety experts will be able to help prepare a fire safety assessment on what fire protection and control measures are required along with an emergency plan and to provide staff with sufficient training in the event of a fire.

Our fire safety assessment will ensure that the four pillars of fire safety are met:

• Fire Prevention
• Fire Detection
• Fire Suppression
• Evacuation

In addition, ongoing refresher training (or fire safety training for new staff) can be obtained from Surefire as well as the annual review of the fire safety assessment to keep your business up to date at all times.
