Fire Risk Assessments
With effect from October 2006 the majority of all Fire Safety legislation in England and Wales was consolidated within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO). Under the RRFSO, employers must have a Fire Risk Assessment in place for all premises, carried out with the assistance of a Competent Person, who has relevant training, experience and knowledge of Fire Safety. These Fire Risk Assessments must be reviewed regularly.
Aegis has staff qualified to act as Competent Persons, as Members of the Institute of Fire Safety Engineers. As such they are capable of conducting Fire Risk Assessments compliant with the RRFSO, which will give:
• Details of potential workplace fire hazards
• An evaluation of the risks arising from potential fire hazards
• Recommendations based upon the effectiveness of existing fire hazard management procedures
and arrangements
• An Action Plan for eliminating fire hazards or reducing fire risks
Aegis can also develop the arrangements and procedures for managing fire risk and provide the fire awareness training required under RRFSO for Fire Wardens and staff.
