Fire Protection in the Private Sector

Working with private sector clients as a fire protection equipment company brings in a wide range of factors, due to the diversity of the clients that use our services. The nature and scale of the business operation, the presence of hazardous or inflammable materials and the layout of the building or site in question all require careful analysis. It is vital to have at hand a comprehensive plan to prevent fire hazards and to ensure the safety of all the building’s occupants should a fire break out.

Companies are required to carry out Fire Risk Assessments under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (2005) and to appoint a responsible person (or more than one) to:

• Identify the fire hazards.
• Identify people at risk.
• Evaluate how to remove or reduce the risks.
• Record the findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training.
• Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly.

Surefire provides comprehensive fire risk assessment services to support companies and organisations throughout the private and public sectors. Furthermore, we can also offer our invaluable online CloudCompliance tool to assist in the fire risk assessment process.

Our range of private sector clients includes large blue chip corporate enterprises, facilities management companies, national retailers, logistics organisations and rail operators. Each client will have widely different requirements but all have one thing in common. In every case, the overriding priority is prevention. So the initial task of our highly experienced fire risk assessment services personnel is to work in close consultation with those responsible for fire protection in client companies to identify where risks are present and to advise as to how they can be eliminated or minimised.

Comprehensive resources are available
