Fire Risk Assessment s-Assessor Training ABBE Level 3
Fire Risk Assessments help to identify the fire hazards and risks in an organisation.
The fire law is changing - Are you up to speed?
Employers or people responsible for business premises are now required by law to carry out a fire risk assessment, and to maintain a fire management plan in case of emergency.
Fire kills. In 2003, there were 3,401 fires in industrial premises resulting in 3 deaths and 153 other casualties*.
Fire also costs money. On average, each fire in industrial premises costs approximately £60,100**.

Fire does affect business, costing thousands in lost revenue. A lack of attention to fire safety can also lead to financial penalties for an employer, resulting in prohibition orders and potentially severe fines. Read a helpful Guidance on Fire Safety At Work document (PDF format).

"When was the Fire Risk Assessment for your premises carried out and how often is it reviewed?"
"Can the person that carried out the Fire Risk Assessment be deemed as competent in fire safety as per the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?"
