Fire Safety Law

The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations are now in full force and The Government's Plans for a new Fire Safety Regime by 2004.

You are no doubt aware of the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations which took effect on 1 December 1997. Every employer must undertake a fire risk assessment and where five or more persons are employed this should be in a written form.

These requirements include:

• The provision of firefighting and fire detection equipment
• The provision of adequate means of escape in case of fire
• The production of an effective fire action plan
• The training of all staff - fire safety awareness
• The maintenance and recording of all provisions.

I will help you comply with all Fire Safety Law and to prioritise your fire safety issues. In so doing, allowing you to concentrate on your core business activities, contain your risks, and fix your costs within a volatile market place.

Failure to comply with the Act is an offence!

It is also likely that the role and direction of the Fire Brigade's activities will change, with the adopting of a "policing " role on workplaces similar to that exercised by the HSE Inspectors, where they will use your own self assessment of fire risks as their starting point.
