Fire risk assessment
-
Thomson Fire started by conducting fire risk assessments in London, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire before the business was expanded to cover the whole of the UK. They still form a major part of what we do.
Fire risk assessment is the systematic examination of all potential sources of fire in the workplace, the dangers that fire poses to those who use it, and ways in which the risk of fire starting and spreading may be minimised. Though unglamorous, fire risk assessments help save lives and protect property.
The fire risk assessment document should be maintained continuously and updated at least once a year, and or following any significant works. All organisations employing more than five people must have one. Large building complexes may need several, all interlinked. Thomson Fire is able to manage the whole process.
We aim to provide a supportive approach to fire risk assessment, from user-friendly reports written in plain English to practical assistance and advice on issues such as work schedules, procedural guidelines, technical updates, staff training, and evacuation plans. If required, we will assist in the implementation of the fire safety strategy, ensuring that documentation is kept up to date, fire drills conducted, alarms and extinguishers maintained, proper signage correctly displayed and so on.
