Fire Risk Assessments

It is a legal requirement in the United Kingdom that a Fire Risk Assessment is undertaken at all places where people are employed and where the public have access. We can provide that Fire Safety Risk Assessment and all required and support documentation.

Having worked in the British Fire & Rescue Service, our staff are fully experienced in the audit requirements of the Fire Service and legal requirements of the ‘Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005‘ [RR(FS)O].

The documentation we provide, is printed, bound and delivered by Royal Mail, and provides you with all the material required to assist in the management of the fire safety requirements of the ‘Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005’, [RR(FS)O].

Our Fire Safety Risk Assessments are unique in the Fire Safety Industry, they are comprehensive, conforming to all current government and industry standards, they provide all the tools necessary for management of Fire Safety requirements in the workplace.

What makes our documentation unique? Our documentation surpasses the current industry standards, and includes:

  • A full and comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment,  [A legal requirement of the RR(FS)O], printed, bound and posted to your premises by special delivery.  
  • A prioritized list of recommended improvements.  (to assist managers and budget holders to undertake necessary work in an appropriate risk based order).
  • Risk Assessment Review documentation.  (again to assist managers in undertaking a review of the Fire Risk Assessment, [again a legal requirement of the RR(FS)O].

Fire Training

There is a legal requirement under UK legislation, the ‘Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005‘ [RR(FS)O] to provide; initial and repeated ongoing Fire Training, to people employed in the workplace.  If you are a ‘responsible person’ then you and your company have a legal requirement to deliver that training.

Who needs Fire Training?

1 – Any people newly employed, in any business:

Should, as soon as possible, have initial training in the very basics of what to do in the event of a fire and the evacuation procedures of your business.

This is normally termed: Fire Safety Induction Training.

[this is Level 1 fire safety training]

2 – Then as soon as practically possible after employment:

Staff should undertake additional and adequate fire safety training, and take into account any; risks, roles, or responsibilities for each person.  If a premise has unusual fire risks or procedures then ‘bespoke fire training’ would need to be implemented.

This is normally termed:  Fire Safety Awareness or Fire Awareness Training and should be repeated yearly.

[this is a Level 2 fire safety training]

3 – Selected people from the workforce should be appointed to undertake:

Additional responsibilities and training (again repeated yearly) to a higher level of understanding and proficiency, with regard the risks and control measures associated with fire.  
We recommend, that a ration of between 1 in 10 and 1 in 15 people be appointed and trained as Fire Marshals, depending on; the complexity, processes, nature of the workplace and shift coverage.

This is normally termed: Fire Marshal Training.

[this is a Level 3 fire safety training] 

Phoenix Fire Safety Group can deliver all of the three levels of Fire Safety Training required.  This will assist you and your company in conforming to the UK legislation that surrounds the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 [RR(FS)O] regarding Fire Safety in the workplace.
