Fire safety equipment for local authorities

Surefire have over 30 years’ experience of working with local authorities and the emergency services. Our role is to make sure that the buildings they work in and manage have the correct fire safety equipment installed to protect the property and its occupants.

All properties should invest in professional fire safety services as it is a legal obligation to do so. The appointed ‘Responsible Person‘ for fire safety in an organisation has the obligation to follow the basic requirements of UK fire legislation.

As the responsible person you must:

• Carry out a fire risk assessment of the premises and review it regularly
• Tell staff or their representatives about the risks you’ve identified
• Put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures
• Plan for an emergency
• Provide staff information, fire safety instruction and training

Our experts will work with you to make sure the building you are responsible for has all the correct fire safety equipment in place and is working effectively. Regular service and maintenance checks need to be made so that day-to-day operations can continue in safety. For local authorities and emergency services such as the police, it is vital their premises are open and fully functional all of the time.

If you are a decision maker within a local authority or the emergency services and wish to talk through your fire safety commitments then please get in touch with us.
