Fire Risk Assessments Northwich

Are you looking to enhance the health and safety of your business? If so, fire risk assessments are an integral part of that and are paramount to ensure you remain in full compliance with latest regulations.

In fact, if your business employs FIVE or more personnel, you are legally required to conduct a professional fire risk assessment. This is in-line with The Fire Safety Act 2021.

Whatever type of business you operate, whether that be a warehouse or an office building, our 5-star-rated assessors provide comprehensive fire risk assessments for your ultimate peace of mind and safety of all involved.

Fire risk assessments should be conducted at least once initially and reviews are also highly recommended at least once annually, particularly in-line with any personnel or structural changes.

Assessments we carry out focus on FOUR main individual components that include;-

  • Assess all possible fire hazards present within your business premises or outlet.
  • Determine which employees or individuals may be most vulnerable to these identified fire hazards.
  • Once the previous two steps are completed, focus on minimising these fire risks as much as possible.
  • Review and implement the necessary safety measures to ensure sufficient protection.

For the arrangement of your fire risk assessment, the ”responsible person” should contact Business Safety Solutions to schedule a convenient date and time for our team to visit your premises.

Why Are Fire Risk Assessments Required?

Fire risk assessments are required at your premises or business outlet for several reasons. As mentioned above, you must be legally-compliant and undertake fire risk assessments to ensure safety in workplaces and public spaces.

Further reasons to conduct assessments at your premises include:

Safety of Occupants: Fire risk assessments help to significantly increase the safety of occupants or personnel. A key step in a comprehensive assessment is identifying all potential hazards that could increase the risk of injury or fatality in the event of a fire. Assessments offer a proactive approach and assist in protecting your people.

Fire Prevention: Assessments reduce the likelihood of a fire occurring within your premises. They are much more than just identifying potential hazards too; strategies are put in place to minimise or eradicate those identified hazards.

Property Protection: Your premises are likely worth tens of thousands, and require ultimate protection, especially from fire. Comprehensive assessments help to prevent damage to buildings and assets. This helps with cost savings for your business, particularly when it comes to insurance premiums.

Emergency Preparedness: In the event of a fire outbreak, you want to be as prepared as you can possibly be. Fire risk assessments involve developing effective emergency response plans and evacuation procedures, ensuring a quicker and safer response in case of a fire.

The responsible person for arranging a professional and comprehensive fire risk assessment is… the responsible person (RP) of your business or organisation. This is an appointed person that is accountable for ensuring an assessment is performed and also reviewed intermittently or annually.

Yes, fire risk assessments are a legal requirement in-line with The Fire Safety Act 2021. You are legally-obligated to carry out fire risk assessments at least once initially and annually in-line with any significant changes. 

A comprehensive fire safety plan should include various elements including: emergency procedures, evacuation routes, fire alarm and detection systems, maintenance and inspections, and comprehensive documentation.

For best practices, we recommend that your assessment should be conducted at least once annually. However, after substantial changes to the building or its use, you should review your assessment right away. This may be as a result of the purpose of your building and significant changes that present new fire hazards.

The duration of a fire risk assessment can vary widely based on several factors, including: the size of your business premises, type and specific layout, the number of hazards identified, and level of detail required. You’ll be pleased to know that we’ll keep you updated every step of the way and aim to minimise business disruption as much as possible.

Upon completion of a fire risk assessment, the documentation should include key elements such as an assessment report, an action plan, outlining existing fire safety measures, risk evaluation, and much more.

Business Safety Solutions provide fire risk assessments for a wide range of industries including: warehouses, care homes, education, recycling, and manufacturing.

  • Testimonials
Gary came to my Osteopathic CPD group on 10th October 2020 on a zoom seminar. This was to give us reassurance of the health and safety procedures we have put in place for Covid 19. Gary readily and kindly agreed, giving an excellent well prepared presentation and easily with expert knowledge answered all our questions. I also found it very reassuring and helpful as he showed the dentistry and physiotherapy risk assessments he had implemented . The presentation helped to give confidence and reassurance to myself and osteopathic colleagues, that we have implemented the correct procedures of health and safety with full PPE and professional duty of care. Also Gary has been to my practice and brought all my professional policies of duty up to date. Fire Safety, Risk assessment, pathways for my practitioner team due to Covid. What a relief to have all this help and support, so all is professionally and expertly documented to give me peace of mind so I can concentrate on my work. Thank you so much and I will certainly recommend you most Highly.

“I became aware of Gary when he was being assessed for two Wamitab qualifications of Level 4 (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Transfer of Hazardous Waste) and (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Physical and Chemical Treatment of Hazardous Waste). His Assessor drew my attention to him and suggested that he would make a good assessor. I took an interest in his portfolio and found it to be well above average. I would be pleased to have Gary as an assessor through adversity he maintained a dignified attitude. His personal qualities included having a calm demeanour, good communicative skills and traditional values.”

"As a small business, it can be hard to find a trusted partner for H&S. The safety of our team is paramount, though spiralling costs were a concern. Gary perfectly understood the reality of being an SME and tailored and delivered a H&S package and Covid-19 audit, that fitted perfectly in our organisation (and our budget), with a sensible and effective approach."
The Goodlife Outdoor CompanyManaging Director
Our business has faced many new challenges due to the Covid-19 situation. With ever changing guidelines and with such important things at stake, we needed help and assurances that we were doing everything we needed to do as an employer to protect staff and protect the business. BSS performed a workplace audit for us and also provided so much useful information and resources to assist the business with our new fluid workforce requirement. After spending time with us in the office, BSS sent us a comprehensive action plan that we used to make our place of work safe. Gary’s clearly an experienced professional as his delivery method made it easy for us to understand a situation that’s previously done nothing but confuse us. We now have confidence that we have done what is required and we have shown that we are a responsible employer which is so important for us. The process was very efficient and all the paperwork arrived within days, as promised by BSS. We highly recommend BSS to all small businesses who want peace of mind about the safety of their offices and home working for staff.
