This new law that came in on october 2006 states all companies must carry out a fire risk assessment, it has to be written in such that the following must be in place;

Measures to reduce the risk of fire on the premises and the risk of spread of fire on the premises.

Measures in relation to the means of escape which should have the appropriate fire safety signage in the building. this means any escape in the event of an emergency a means of escape can be effectively used.

Measures for securing that, at all materials are properly stowed and any inflammable liquids or gases are kept in a fire proof cabinet or out side away from the buildings.

Measures in ensuring or relating of having means to fight fire on the premises and having proper training in the use of fire extinguishers.

Measures in relating to the means of detecting fire on the premises and giving warning in case of fire on the premises:- this does not mean in having a full fire alarm system installed if the premises is only small the word “shout” (fire) may all be required. Information is always available for this by contacting your local fire brigade for advice and measures in relation to the arrangements for action to be taken in the event of fire on the premises, including instructions and training of all personnel.

Fire Training. back to products

1 hour Training Session carried out at your premises includes a presentation certificate

A summary of our training details is as follows:-

“Introduction on fire safety and welcome speech”.

We would then show a fire safety training video (or DVD) which runs for about 20 minutes, afterwards we would go over the main points of the video/DVD and run through the various points of what to do in the event of an emergency and reviewing the various types of extinguishers and what fire they put out.

We will then go outside weather permitting and let off the types of extinguishers to show your staff the correct way of extinguishing fires etc..

We will bring all necessary equipment that would be needed, and would also need the names of your staff for an attendance certificate. Please let me know if you have the use of a PC/laptop or we will bring our own.

The course will run for about 1 hour, and as a guide I normally can take up to 15 people in a demonstration. I will need at least 2 weeks notice for a date, which will be convenient for you.
