MESH consultants are highly experienced in carrying out Fire Risk Assessments for companies in a diverse range of industries and types of premises throughout the UK.
Our Head Office is in Kent, with regional offices located in London, The Home Counties, The Midlands, and The North East.
Most workplaces are required to carry out fire risk assessments by the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations and the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations. The assessment will help you determine the chances of a fire occurring and the dangers from fire to your staff or anyone else who visits your workplace.
The primary emphasis of the fire regulations is to protect life. But what businesses must consider is that fires cost money and the costs of a serious fire can be very high. In fact, many businesses fail to reopen and of those that do, 90% fail within the first 12 months.
A very real risk to business in all types of workplaces is from arson and should be considered as part of your assessment. A Home Office study suggests that in an average week, 3,500 fires are deliberately started. Costs from this are calculated as being in excess of £1.3 billion a year.
Even if a fire certificate covers your premises, you will still need
to carry out a fire risk assessment. What your assessment may identify
is that few, if any, additional precautions are needed.
