LONDON FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
... in the line of fire ...
COMPLIANCY INSPECTIONS & AUDITS
Do you and your premises comply with the requirements, impositions, duties, considerations and recommendations made under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?
If your premises/building were designed, built, extended or refurbished in accordance with recognised, approved Building Guidance and procedures then the inherent Fire Safety provisions should be adequate, if maintained.
If your premises are in receipt of a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment, Fire Emergency Plan and Fire Safety Management Plan, and the relevant persons and premises are managed in accordance with them, along with other Fire Safety Management procedures, then the Fire Safety Policies and provisions, the systems and installations should be appropriate.
How do you know for sure? How do you know if the premises or the Management procedures would pass an inspection by the enforcing Authority?
The answer is that you cannot know, not for sure.
Neither can the enforcing Authority The Fire Brigade, not for sure, not without carrying out a Fire Safety Audit and Relative Risk Level process and Fire Safety Inspection and Data Gathering procedure.
This is an audit based approach to carrying out a Fire Safety Inspection at the premises which will provide Fire Brigade Inspecting Officers, with a risk based methodology that supports the Enforcement principles embodied in The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Enforcement Management Model. It terminates with a meeting with the 'Responsible Person', or representative, to discuss any areas of non-compliance, and the possible Enforcement options available.
LONDON FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS can pre-empt this process and procedure and give you all the information that would be collected from a Fire Safety Audit and Relative Risk Level Fire Safety Inspection and Data Gathering exercise, without any of the threats of Enforcement action.
In a kind of Gamekeeper turned Poacher role, London Fire Risk Assessment can Inspect and Audit your premises in a mirrored attitude to the Enforcing Authority. We can gather all relevant information in a process that reflects that used by a Fire Brigade, Inspecting Officer and calculate a relative risk level and predict any possible level of enforcement for the premises.
Not shackled by legislative duties, we can then inform and instruct the ’Responsible Person’ and hopefully instigate remedial and compensatory measures, to drive down the Relevant Risk Level to a tolerable level, below that which would normally attract Enforcement Action by the Enforcing Authority.
