Often not considered or thought about, fire safety has become part of everyday life. However, having the appropriate fire system in place is important, whether it commercial or a domestic property, fire safety is a legal requirement, and often there is a lot more to consider then simply just getting an alarm.
For homeowners, whilst the requirements are less rigid, there is still fire safety that needs to be in place within your home. Such as monoxide and smoke detectors.
Fire safety is paramount for the safety of your premises, tenants, staff and customers, that is why there are strict guidelines that must be fulfilled. Failure to do so, can result in huge fines and worse, closures and jail-time in some extreme circumstances. As with any regulation some buildings and industries require more fire safety measures then others, this may include fire alarms, emergency lighting and automatic open vent systems (AOV).
To ensure these are in place and operational, inspections and risk assessments are carried under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which covers general and mandatory fire safety in England and Wales. And are assisted by governing bodies for compliance by institutions such as; CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme).
