What is a fire risk assessment?
Folgate Safety offers a professional and comprehensive fire risk assessment, conducted by a member of our team.
During the assessment, our goal is assess fire risk and suggest mitigation action for your facility, taking into account many elements premises and the people who use them.
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is vital for understanding potential risks, and improving your fire safety precautions in order to keep people safe.
FRAs are a legal requirement for any employer, owner, landlord, or occupier of any non 'single private dwelling'. They save lives and ultimately make good business sense.
Do I really need a professional fire risk assessment?
In England and Wales, if you’re an employer, owner, landlord or occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, YOU are responsible for fire safety and are known as the ‘responsible person’.
By undertaking your fire risk assessment we act as the 'competent person' - advising and assisting you - the responsible person.
Local fire and rescue authorities inspect premises and can issue fire safety notices telling you about changes you might need to make to your premises.
If you don’t follow fire safety regulations you could get fined and/or go to prison.
