We undertake huge amounts of work at Residential Care Homes, Schools, Boarding Houses, Nurseries and Day Centres where vulnerable adults and children are present. Similarly, we work at a range of sites where high value goods are present or where heightened levels of security are an absolute must. Your peace of mind is important to us, and we take our responsibilities very seriously with regard to the security of our customers and their property.
Risk Assessment Competency
All of our Fire Risk Assessors have significant experience as consultants, trainers and engineers in the private sector, carrying out fire safety services including Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Safety Training. As a company we have carried out hundreds of Fire Risk Assessments on very diverse premises across a wide range of buildings including licensed premises (hotels, restaurants, bars), flats and HMOs, offices, shops, educational premises and factories and warehouses. We are frequently called upon to assist clients in cases where the Local Fire Authority have carried out an audit and consequently served an Enforcement Notice. They have extensive former experience with the Fire & Rescue Services, and are members of the Fire Prevention Association (FPA) and the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE). They regularly attend courses to ensure that their industry knowledge and skills are up-to-date and these include the PAS 79 Fire Risk Assessment Course by Colin Todd and Associates, Means of Escape – Approved Document B with the FPA and the three-day FPA Fire Risk Assessment Course specialising in the Common Areas of Residential Blocks of Flats and Housing of Multiple Occupations (HMO’s).
