Previous fire safety legislation in England and Wales has been replaced by The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order Act 2005 and gives greater emphasis to the responsibilities of owners, occupiers and users of business premises. The Local Authority Fire Brigade will no longer issue fire certificates and the responsibility for fire safety in the premises will be that of the owner or occupier of the premises.

You must carry out a fire safety risk assessment of the premises. Ark Environmental can carry out a systematic examination of the premises on your behalf to evaluate compliance with the current legislation. Your Fire Risk Assessment will cover:

Physical and structural conditions

Fire warning systems

Fire protection systems

Employee training

Fire appliances

Means of escape

Fire safety management

Fire plans, ongoing monitoring and training
