Shisha Bar owners are fined £300k – sending a clear message to those who put the Public at risk by repeatedly flouting Fire Safety Regulations

If you an owner of a London Bar, Pub or Restaurant that promote Shisha then don’t ignore your Fire Safety responsibilities – the law will catch up with you and neglecting your Public responsibilities will not be tolerated.

To keep on the right side of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 you will need a ‘suitable a sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment carried out by a competent person. If you feel you are not qualified enough in Fire Safety then appoint a third party competent person – a Fire Safety Risk Assessor.

A Fire Safety Inspection will be carried out at your premise – this will identify any deficiencies and as part of the Fire Risk Assessment package a Fire Safety Management Plan – Significant Findings will be compiled. This will act as your ‘job list’ and it will tell you what is wrong, what you have to do to put it right and when you have to complete it by.

Once you have your documentation it is then up to you the ‘Responsible Person’ and your team to put it into action. If you need help and guidance with this London Fire Risk Assessments offer a co-ordination service click here to find out more.

Act now! Don’t take a chance, you are responsible for too many people for it to go wrong!

London Fire Risk Assessments would like to wish all their clients and suppliers a Fabulous Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

It’s the season to be jolly but lets take a few moments out to think of people that are less fortunate. 

There are so many people that may need our help – lonely neighbours, families looking after loved ones that are sick, our homeless.

Please help London Fire Risk Assessment in supporting one wonderful charity the Royal Trinity Hospice wpoynnm. They have released a single ‘Say It In The Living Years’ sang by the London Hospices Choir and featuring Paul Carrack to celebrate their 125th Birthday.

The challenge is to make this superb song No 1 in the charts.

The Royal Trinity Hospice touched our hearts many years ago whilst looking after a family member. All the Staff are angels and it’s the most beautiful caring place to end your day. There are so many Hospices that provide the same wonderful environment and are rarely acknowledged for their work – until we need them.

Help us help them achieve their goal and get to No. 1 – All funds are in aid of London Hospices – just visit iTunes or Amazon and search for London Hospices Choir.

Thank you

Getting ready for the festive season! Time to test those Christmas Tree lights!!!

It’s the season to be jolly ……….. time to get your home ready for the festivities.

Don’t take any risks, your family is too important to take chances, check the Christmas Tree lights before you put them up!!

How old are they? Do they have any signs of overheating? Are the wires showing any cracks or breaks? If so it’s time to replace them!

If you are a Property Management Company or a Residents Association and you want to decorate your Entrance Hall to your blocks of Flats – Check your Fire Risk Assessment for the premise as it may not allow extra Fire Loading on the means of escape. It you decide to go ahead check the lights – it may be cheaper in the long run to replace them!

Make sure the position of the Christmas Tree is not obstructing the means of escape and the Tree is not adjacent to any heaters.

Fireworks and the law

  • Did you know It is an offence for anyone under the age of 18 to possess fireworks in public places and an offence for anyone, other than a firework professional, to possess professional display fireworks.
  • Did you know it is illegal to set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am.

Firework safety code

  • Only buy fireworks marked with the British Standard Kitemark BS7114
  • Don’t drink alcohol if setting off fireworks
  • Keep fireworks in a closed box and always follow the instructions carefully when using them
  • Light them at arms length using a taper and stand well back
  • Never go back to them once they are lit. Even if a firework hasn’t gone off, it could still explode
  • Never throw fireworks and never put them in your pocket
  • Respect your neighbours – don’t let off fireworks late at night and remember there are laws to follow
  • Take care with sparklers – never give them to children under five. Even when they have gone out they are still hot so put sparklers in a bucket of water after use
  • Keep your pets indoors throughout the evening

London Fire Risk Assessments wish you all a safe, fun Firework Night!!
