Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessment Training

The new Fire Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into force on 1st October 2006, the main change from the old law is the need to complete an up-to-date fire risk assessment. This places a duty on employers and business owners to look at their fire systems and procedures and complete a risk assessment aimed at saving life and property. This may seem a difficult task if there is no competent person within the business.

Singleton Training Services Ltd can help you to complete this risk assessment by training key people within your business to allow them to complete a competent fire risk assessment.
