London Fire Risk Assessments advice to customers:

Having a suitable and sufficient Fire Safety Risk Assessment can help to save lives. Just going through the Fire Safety Inspection process will identify different areas of Fire Safety concern.

The Responsible Person for the Hostel must ensure that the Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the premise is up to date and any Fire Safety remedial works identified are actioned upon – it’s the law.

Training of Staff is just one of the essential requirements – in a time of Emergency it is imperative that all Staff know the premise Fire Safety Emergency Plan and how to react in a time of Fire. If you require Staff training contact London Fire Risk Assessments as all our Trainers have completed their safety training with the London Fire Brigade.
