Fire Protection

January 31st, 2010

Do you want to protect your business from fire?

Tens of thousands of fires happen every year at workplaces up and down the country. Thousands of people are injured in these fires and, of course, people die.
With proper fire safety training a lot of these fires could have been avoided.

MacDonald Martin will supply fire risk assessment services to make sure that businesses comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO). They have over 40 professionally qualified fire risk consultants within either the Institution of Fire Engineers or the Institute of Fire Prevention Officers qualifications. Many are current and ex-senior ranking fire brigade officers with knowledge and experience of fire protection, safety, prevention and enforcement.

If a business does not have an adequate fire risk assessment it runs the risk of not just a tragedy at work but also legal action. The order requires the responsible person (such as the employer) to carry out a fire risk assessment and employ competent people to manage fire risk.

A fire risk assessment identifies possible risks of combustion and institutes methods to counteract that risk. MacDonald Martin can provide solutions for businesses big or small who wish to make sure their premises are safe.

The fire safety consultants of MacDonald Martin have the know-how to establish where fire risks lie and how a business can stop it happening.
Every workplace wants to keep its employees safe. http://www.macdonald-Martin.co.uk/  will help any business protect its workforce.
