Blake Fire and Security Systems
Blake Fire & Security Systems have a long and distinguished track record of designing, installing, commissioning and maintaining Fire Alarm Systems. From our HQ in Southend, we're proud to keep businesses safe across Essex, London and the South East.
The Fire Safety Order requires the appointment of a Responsible Person to ensure there is adequate fire protection in every non-domestic premises in the UK.
This Responsible Person is usually the business owner or, for schools, the head teacher. S/he must ensure that there is an up to date Fire Risk Assessment. And that everything highlighted has been addressed completely. If not, s/he could be prosecuted, fined and even imprisoned!
Regulations change over the years, but one thing remains the same. A serious fire can have real implications - both emotional and financial.
The disruption to everyday trading can set you back a long way. Worst case scenario, it can bankrupt a business. Plus, you have a duty of care to your employees and any visitors to your premises.
Prevention is better than cure. And the simple answer for your peace of mind is to get a Fire Alarm System from a supplier you can trust.
The FSO legislation states that the Responsible Person must make a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment (Article 9). Get this wrong and the Responsible Person can face an unlimited fine or up to two years in prison!
The good news is Blake Fire & Security Systems can assist in getting the Risk Assessment done correctly and help you understand the findings and recommendations.
