Fire risk assessments for Leeds premises
Whether you run an office, a shop, a restaurant or a warehouse, or manage a block of flats or an HMO, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and keep it under review. In Leeds, the Order is enforced by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, whose inspectors can ask to see your assessment.
We carry out fire risk assessments in Leeds from our base near Sheffield. Each one includes an inspection of the premises, a check of your servicing and testing records, identification of all responsible persons and a written report that records everything we checked, with a prioritised action plan.

Fire safety services we offer in Leeds
Fire Risk Assessments
A Fire Risk Assessments reviews your building to see how it complies with legislation and how it would respond to fires in all the different areas. Additionally we also manually check all servicing schedules, identify Responsible People and create a remedial plan if required.
Fire Emergency Plans
A detailed plan as to exactly what, who, when and how you are going to respond to a fire or the fire alarm sounding. This not a generic document and is very building specific, taking into account any findings from the GEEPs and PEEPs above.
Fire Safety Training
Its a legal requirement that all members of staff receive General Fire Safety Training. But you also need at least one trained Fire Coordinator supported by one or more Fire Wardens/Marshall's.
Fire Evacuation Drills
Once you have all the above in place, you need to test your plan to make sure it works in a series of senarios. An evacuation drills also allow people to practice their response to a fire and not to panic.
General Emergency Evacuation Plan (GEEP)
If your building gets lots of visitors or the general public, then you need a plan detailing how you might evacuate these if one or more of them are disabled in some way.
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP)
Similar to a GEEP but this focuses on disabled employees. How do you identify them and make sure that in a fire scenario they can evacuate the building either unaided or with some assistance.
Flat Information Pack
Many small sites such as pubs and takeaways include onsite living accommodation. If your site has 2 or more flats then you legally must provide them with an information pack detailing the fire safety procedures, plans and equipment in place to keep them safe.
Fire Logbook App
Fire safety doesn't happen once per year with a Fire Risk Assessment. Each day, week or month you will have a series of things like doors, signs, fire alarm tests and equipment servicing that all need checking and ticking off. Yet this can easily run into dozens of items if done correctly. So we provide our clients with an easy to use App to replace the old paper log books.

Fire strategy documents for Leeds developments
From city-centre residential schemes to office refurbishments and conversions, many building projects need a fire strategy. If you are designing, developing or changing the use of a building, a fire strategy explains how it will meet fire safety requirements, including means of escape, compartmentation, detection and alarm systems, and access and facilities for the fire service.
We prepare fire strategy documents for architects, developers and building owners. Contact us to discuss your project and the information we will need.
