At this time it is imperative that you check
the accreditations of the person that will be carrying out the Fire Safety
Inspection on your premise.
If you carry out a general Internet search so
many London based Fire Safety Protection Companies come up offering all kind of
Fire Risk Assessment ‘deals’. But wait - don’t be tempted by price, do your
research and double-check the Company’s’ accreditation and most importantly the
accreditation of the Fire Risk Assessor carrying out the Fire Safety
Inspection.
There
are only 337 registered, qualified Risk Assessors in England!
An example for you to consider:
Just recently a leading Fire Alarm Company’s
Fire Safety Consultant, who was carrying out a Fire Risk Assessment, contacted London
Fire Risk Assessments asking; “I was hoping you could assist me with the
following. Does a building that would of complied with fire safety/building
regulations at the time of construction, need to be upgraded to meet current
legislation? Mainly with regard to fire doors, means of escape and final
exits.”
Now, should this Fire Safety Consultant be
asking an Independent Fire Risk Assessment Company these kind of questions?
Should he not know the answer or even ask one of his peers within his own
Company? More importantly should he be carrying out Fire Safety Inspections and
compiling Fire Risk Assessments?
