Locke Carey are carrying out Fire Risk Assessments, Inspections and Audits for industrial and regulatory clients worldwide to enable them to meet their regulatory duties.  We liaise with enforcing authorities on our clients' behalf to provide suitable fire precautions, alleviating the need for formal enforcement action to be taken.

All of our Risk Assessments, Inspections and Audits are performed by appropriately qualified consultants, who consider the statutory legislation and have a detailed understanding of the relevant guidance.

We can provide Fire Risk Assessments to satisfy the legal requirement.  Our risk assessments are not a tick box sheets; we'll give you a full "plain English" report explaining any deficiencies and how to remedy them.  We adopt a common sense approach which recognises the needs of your business operation.  Locke Carey can also provide fully annotated drawings showing both active and passive fire protection systems present. 

The purpose of the Fire Risk Assessment is to identify and record the significant hazards present during the time of the inspection which may impact upon the general level of fire safety provision within the premises.  The risk assessment should be reviewed on a regular basis and on the introduction of new equipment or procedures.

The risk assessment is integral to the management of the legal requirement of the duty of care owed by the employer to employees and all other persons using a building.  It should be kept on the premises and be readily available for inspection by the authorities upon request.  The findings of the report are intended to assist management in providing a safe working environment, but are made without prejudice to any additional requirements that may be made by a enforcing authority.  However, the enforcing authorities are obliged to take note of the risk assessment particularly in the event of additional work being required above the recommendations of the report.
