Conduct a Fire Risk Assessment
Our number one point to improve fire safety within your business is to simply conduct a fire risk assessment. It’s important to select an accredited, trusted and local company just like Absolute Health Fire Safety. Fire risk assessments identify potential fire hazards, assess the level of risk, and determine appropriate control measures. Not only are fire risk assessments recommended, but they are a legal requirement in accordance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Review Your Fire Risk Assessment
Once you have arranged for a professional and accredited company, just like Absolute Health Fire Safety, to conduct your fire risk assessment for you, it doesn’t just stop there. Your fire risk assessment is a document that should be continually reviewed in-line with any structural, internal or drastic personnel changes. For example, if new machinery or procedures are introduced, this may be another reason to review your assessment. If no changes happen within your business (which is unlikely), we still recommend reviewing your assessment at least once annually.
Install Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
Installing fire detection and alarm systems within your commercial premises is another legal requirement that you must oblige to which will improve the overall fire safety for your business. installing reliable fire detection systems such as smoke detectors, heat detectors and fire alarms will ensure your maximising fire safety. Moreover, it’s important to ensure that fire alarms are serviced at least one annually to ensure they are working to their full capacity.
