Fire Risk Assessments

Section 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (referred to as ‘RRO’ or ‘FSO’) confirms that the ‘Responsible Person’ must make a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment. In relation to a workplace, the employer is considered the Responsible Person, if the workplace is to any extent, under his control.

As the Fire Risk Assessment and the legislation can be quite technical, the Responsible Person can hire a professional to undertake the Fire Risk Assessment on their behalf.

Here at USP, we have helped hundreds of organisations by completing a Fire Risk Assessment on their premises, ensuring that appropriate controls are implemented to keep everyone in the workplace safe.

Once instructed, our consultants will attend your workplace to conduct the Fire Risk Assessment.

Stage 1: Information gathering

Once we arrive at your workplace, we will conduct a walk around, paying particular attention to fire escape routes, smoking areas, fire extinguisher points, emergency call point locations, emergency lighting (what else). By looking at the information gathered, we will be able to identify any deficiencies, and look at the controls which will apply.

Stage 2: Risk Assessment Creation and follow-up

Once we have the relevant information, we will produce the Fire Risk Assessment, along with the appropriate controls which need to be implemented. A follow-up meeting can be arranged if this is what you would like, to go through the findings of the Fire Risk Assessment.

We recently used Universal Safety Practitioners for a sitewide audit to benchmark our facility to industry standards.  Jo was great to work with and provided helpful feedback on our paperwork and facility.  The provided report was clear and gave a traffic light system of red, yellow, green for items that may require attention.

We used USP for our installation project for a 3G Football pitch. They were extremely efficient and professional. They handled the Health & Safety side of things very quickly and the team were really helpful. Communication was really good and I would definitely use them again and would certainly recommend them 100%
