You may be aware of the Fire Protection (Workplace)
Act 1997, and the amendments of December 1999. What this means, is
that any firm or company that has one or more employees must carry
out a Fire Risk Assessment. It makes no difference if you have a fire
certificate, and there are no exceptions.
This is going to open the way for "consultants", some with
questionable credibility, to try and make a lot of money out of you.
We have heard of some quotes ranging from £800 to £2000
for information only, to enable you to carry out your own assessment.
This could leave you paying out a lot of money, but still not having
an assessment that is acceptable to the Fire Brigade.
We at Fire Guard Services have the expertise to carry out and produce
your Fire Risk Assessment, at a very reasonable cost. As an existing
customer, we hope that we have already developed your trust, and
this is just one more way that we can be of benefit to you. |
