Fire Safety Risk Assessments
From the national safety company
fire-lec is the Fire Safety Risk Assessment service from the gas-elec group, long-established providers of utility safety inspections in the UK.
Safety inspection specialist gas-elec has introduced fire-lec to help small businesses, offices and other commercial premises comply with the complexities of the new fire safety legislation – the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) which overturns all previous fire safety regulations, abolishes fire certificates and moves the emphasis towards preventing fires and reducing risk.
Did you know the law has changed?
At a meeting of local businesses, 36 out of 37 owners present were unaware of the new regulations! The RRO now makes it your responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone who uses your premises and those in the immediate vicinity. And if you have five or more employees you are required to have a written Fire Safety Risk Assessment!
Fire Ruins!
82% of businesses that suffer a major fire go out of business!
Fire Costs!
In 2004 the costs as a consequence of fire, including property damage, human casualties and lost business, were estimated at £2.5 billion!
Fire Spreads!
In 2004 there were over 33,400 fires in non domestic buildings in England and Wales.
Fire Kills!
In 2004 fires in non-domestic buildings in England and Wales killed 38 people and injured over 1,300
Would your business survive a major fire?
The staggering statistic is that 82% don't. The average cost of fire in a commercial building in 2003 was £58,100. This included the economic cost of injuries and fatalities. But many small businesses do not have the facilities, time or knowledge to apply the new laws to sufficiently cover themselves. This is where fire-lec comes in – as a competent third party we can make sure that you are adequately protecting your employees and your business.
fire-lec has been designed to remove the worries and stresses of complying with the complex new requirements with a tailor-made package that takes all necessary steps to ensure your fire precaution strategy fulfills all legal requirements. This includes looking at your current fire precautions, identifying any hazards, reducing any risks and producing a written Assessment.
Our fire-lec inspectors are fully trained and certified fire safety risk assessors.
