BAFE Accredited Fire Risk Assessments
Easy-to-understand reports that compare your building and management to the most relevant national fire safety guidance documents.
Highly qualified and competent
Fire Skills Consultants and Trainers are all highly qualified but are also carefully chosen to make your fire safety journey manageable.
Accredited Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments can vary from a 2- or 3-page tick box report, which is normally not suitable or sufficient. The other extreme is documentation that fills a shelf and is unusable. A Fire Skills Fire Risk Assessment complies with PAS 79, which specifies the structure that should be followed. BAFE SP 205 audits this against national standards and is a robust scheme that demonstrates a quality fire risk assessment. The report you will receive is also easy to read and understand.
Bespoke Staff Fire Training
Many fire training companies provide generic fire training to staff. Fire Skills Staff Training is adjusted to your site and will include the fire policies you have for your business. Then in an emergency staff are confident in what they should do and make informed decisions, which leads to better outcomes. We can provide basic fire awareness, fire marshals, and practical fire extinguisher training.
Frequently asked questions
What documents help with an initial fire risk assessment or review for my business in Okehampton?
If you have a previous fire risk assessment, this can be very useful. Plans of the building or a fire strategy can also be informative. Records of any fire policies and procedures demonstrate how fire incidents will be prevented and managed if they occur. Records of testing, maintenance, staff training, and fire evacuations show a history of management, so they are critical.
Will the fire risk assessment shape the staff training for my business in Okehampton?
Absolutely. Fire provision standards are guided by the fire risks present in your business, and the same applies to staff fire training requirements. Some low-risk buildings occupied by staff that are familiar with the building may have very simple training requirements. In buildings where care is given, the staff training needs can be significantly more complicated.
Should the training then reflect this variation in need?
Yes. Too often we provide fire training to staff that have been trained using generic packages previously. That is why training by Fire Skills is bespoke and tailored to your business and its specific needs.
