Examining the Fire Risks That Could Affect Your Premises
A suitable fire risk assessment provides an important foundation for effective fire safety management. It considers the potential causes of fire, the people who could be placed at risk and the precautions available to prevent a fire from occurring or limit its consequences. By taking a detailed look at the individual building and how it operates, an assessment can help establish whether existing fire safety arrangements remain appropriate.
Safe I.S. provides professional fire risk assessments throughout Loughton, supporting businesses, landlords, managing agents, employers and those responsible for a wide range of occupied premises. Our experienced assessors examine the individual characteristics of every building, considering its construction, layout, occupancy and day-to-day use alongside the fire safety measures already provided.
Following the assessment, we produce a detailed written report setting out the significant findings and practical recommendations based on the risks identified.
