Fire Consultancy Services

Up until October 2006, there were approximately 70 different pieces of legislation relating to fire safety in the UK. The release of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) in England and Wales, repealed all previous Fire Safety legislation and was a much needed consolidation and long awaited revision of these previous laws. To ensure compliance with the RRO, it is prudent to engage the services of a competent Fire Safety Consultant, Beacon Fire Safety and MK Fire Training are a great choice to assist you in complying with your legal obligations under the RRO. In the remainder of the UK, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 were made under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and came in to force at the same time, with the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 came into effect on 15 November 2010. Both ethical and legal factors make the choice an easy one; reasonably priced fire safety and training consultation is a wise and responsible investment, potentially saving both lives and assets.

A fire risk assessment is the first step in developing a fire safety strategy for your business and can be defined as a method of identifying fire hazards and determining the likelihood or risk that these hazards will result in a fire.

This legislation places a legal obligation on the person deemed to be the Responsible Person for the premises to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment by a 'Competent Person'. Insurers are also beginning to demand that their customers demonstrate that they are taking a responsible approach to fire safety, particularly for the safety of staff, customers, visitors and property.
