If you have five or more full-time employees, then by law you must conduct, record and regularly review a fire risk assessment. The risk assessment could, among other things, identify a need for a fire alarm system, fire extinguishers and emergency lighting.
With this emphasis on 'competent' persons attaining even greater prominence in the new regulatory reform fire safety order, the benefits of third-party certification are widely recognised by many involved in the fire protection process including enforcement authorities, insurers and government.
With current fire safety legislation based on risk assessment, the onus of responsibility for fire protection is on the employer / owner / occupier.
Using a BAFE certified company such as Nationwide Fire & Security gives the peace of mind that companies are carrying out their legal 'duty of care' responsibilities by employing fire protection equipment and services that meet the relevant standards and are installed and maintained by 'competent persons'.
With this emphasis on 'competent' persons attaining even greater prominence in the new regulatory reform fire safety order, the benefits of third-party certification are widely recognised by many involved in the fire protection process including enforcement authorities, insurers and government.
