Fire Risk Assessment Barnsley

Fire Prevention & Risk Assessment in Barnsley

OJ Health and Safety provides businesses throughout Barnsley with a wide range of services to help deal with Fire Prevention, including a Fire Risk Assessment.

On October 1st 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) came into force. This is a major change in legislation putting the legal requirement to create Fire Risk Assessments upon ‘The Responsible Person’ within a business and scrapping the old fire certificates which historically had been completed by the local Fire Service.

The new fire regulations were introduced to simplify matters, to take the pressure and responsibility away from the Fire Service and make it more straight forward for Employers to understand what was required from them.

What is Fire Risk Assessment?

Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the damage, destruction and possible loss of life caused by fire. Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent the ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and those that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts.

What will OJ Health and Safety do?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) applies to all commercial premises in Barnsley, including the common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupations (HMOs).

The law applies to you if you are:

  • Responsible for business premises
  • An employer or self-employed with business premises
  • Responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
  • A charity or voluntary organisation
  • A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
  • Providing accommodation for paying guests
  • Fire remains potentially the most damaging and disruptive event that any business can face. A devastating fire will almost inevitably lead to loss of production or productive activity which can lead to a loss of orders, a loss of customers and mostly, the loss of jobs.

A significant amount of business simply never recover from the effects of a large fire.

Here at OJ Health and Safety in Barnsley we provide a wide range of services such as fire risk assessments, fire extinguisher installation and servicing as well as PAT Testing and Fire Warden training.

At OJ Safety we put our clients at the heart of everything we do, recognising that each one is different and has individual needs. Our assessments are tailored to your business and our efforts are focused on building an easy-to-use, action-based document.
