Fire Safety Legislation
Introduced in 2005, the RRO regulations make up the foundation of fire safety and, since 2022, have the support of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations and the Building Safety Act. These legislative measures cover everything from fire risk assessments and arrangements to providing suitable information for those working in your premises and to all nominated responsible persons.
Legislation relates to employers, property owners, occupiers and visitors.
Staying compliant with Part B of the UK Building Regulations is also essential to fire safety and ensures all premises undergo construction and maintenance in such a way as to reduce hazards and provide a safe route of egress, in an orderly and timely manner, in the event of an evacuation.
M.L.A. understands the critical nature of conducting fire risk assessments more than most, and we bring our experience to an assortment of different sectors in Berkshire, Essex, Kent, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Sussex and London so that you can navigate the regulations and implement safety measures.
Fire Safety and Fire Risk Assessments in Practice
Although regulatory fire safety compliance is important, an assessment from a professional consultant creates a safer workplace for all key stakeholders. Fire risk assessments help in identifying hazards and managing them in such a way as to mitigate danger and put the required control measures into place. Our assistance covers the installation and upkeep of fire alarms, fire detection systems, signage, evacuation routes and emergency lighting.
Just as importantly, a fire risk assessment gives responsible persons information and training on safety procedures, the use of firefighting equipment and how to respond quickly whenever an emergency related to fire arises.
M.L.A. ensures the practical integration of safety measures into your business.
