You must carry out and regularly review the fire risk assessment of your premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe.
We offer a courteous and professional service which includes the construction and review of your Fire Emergency Plan and a Fire Safety Logbook to record fire safety testing, training and inspections.
Assessments can be provided electronically and in hard copy format.

Determine whether environmental and workplace safety requirements, and corporate policies and procedures regarding compliance, are being followed.
Assess management systems currently in place to ensure compliance. An audit may also look at and evaluate the methods used to achieve compliance.

Clients, and particularly local authority organisations, are requiring small to medium organisations to comply with health and safety requirements before they are awarded contracts or are included onto suppler lists. Many of these organisations use a Contractor Accreditation Scheme to meet their legal responsibilities in assessing competence. Well known recognised schemes include;
Safe Contractor
Construction line
Contractors Health and safety Scheme (CHAS)
To join these schemes can take a considerable amount of time and effort and may require changes to your health and safety management systems and increase the level of training for your staff.
We can work with you to develop your systems to ensure they meet the criteria of the individual schemes. It may be that your systems and procedures are already to expectable standards and you just required assistance in completing the required application forms, which in themselves can be a daunting process.
Becoming Part of the Schemes
As part of these schemes, you are required to have ready access to competent health and safety advice. This may be either from an internal source or by using the services of a health and safety consultancy such as The Safety Circle Limited
