Nam aliquet vestibulum tellus fringilla scelerisque. In eu lorem vulputate, enim ac, auctor mauris.

Fire is a risk to all organisations, from a life safety perspective, as well as asset loss (building, equipment, and data).

Employers and those with control of premises are required by legislation to carry out an assessment of the risks to the occupants of a building and other people in the vicinity of the building, to ensure they are safe from fire and the effects of fire.

Zeta’s competent team of Account Managers, Engineers, Consultants, and Assessors work in partnership with clients nationwide to offer tailored services in Fire Safety Management, Fire Risk Assessment, Fire Engineering, and Training.

Let’s discuss your needs in more detail.

Why do it?

It's been the Law since:

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or equivalent outside of England and Wales
Fire Precautions (Work Place) Regulations (1997)
Approval provisions of Licensing Act 2003

Risk assessment is now the method of “Self Compliance” as fire certificates cease to have effect.

All organisations and places of work that employ 5 or more personnel require risk assessments as well as licensed premises.

The Employer is called the “Responsible Person” and they must list “significant findings”. The responsible person must carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment and may appoint a competent person/company such as Zeta to follow the minimum 5 step review:

Step 1- Identify the hazards

Step 2- Decide who might be harmed and how

Step 3- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions

Step 4- Record your findings and implement them

Step 5- Review your assessment and update if necessary

When to do it?

When there are any significant changes to the premises or building, changes in risk, changes in staffing or following an incident.

If you don't do it or fail to comply you could end up with:

Closures (via prohibition notice)
Unlimited Fines (recent fine circa £400,000)
Prison (2 years)

Failure to comply with the Fire Safety Order is a criminal offence.

Why use Zeta Services?

We provide a more in depth assessment over the standard 5 steps by using the PAS 79: 2012 method of 9 stage review (the 4 additional stages help to reduce risk further).

We provide a simple to follow but bespoke prioritised action list of compliance requirements, to early show actions leading to compliance.

We will work with you and the local fire authorities if you have non compliances.

We work in specialist high risk assessment areas, such as High-rise, Construction, Timber frame, Sleeping risks, Licensed premises, Petroleum sites etc.

We can support our risk assessments with fire engineering solutions.

We provide a fire enforcement viewpoint, particularly for clients issued with Alteration, Enforcement or Prohibition notices.

We provide a national coverage from our own assessors.

How we work

1. Site Visit.

Carry out a methodical and organised review of the premisesand processes in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (or relevant legislation outside of the England and Wales), and/or HSG 168 in respect of construction sites.

2. Assess inherent dangers.

Assess inherent dangers posed to employees and visitors in the premises and associated risks for fire warnings, exit procedures and safe exit routes. A Hot Smoke test can be used to assess the effects and rate of travel of smoke and gases in the event of a fire.

3. Comprehensive report.

Produce a comprehensive report that evaluates the risks, assesses whether existing precautions are sufficient, and advise on new precautions or measures required. This report will include assessing unoccupied areas where detection may be delayed.

4. Agree next steps.

Following discussion and review of reports, an action list is drawn up with the client.

5. Associated services.

Where necessary to provide additional support such as staff training, development and implementation of management and evacuation plans, and provision of ongoing technical support.

6. Schedule regular assessments.

Schedule regular assessment reviews and revisions if required to keep you, your staff and your business safe from the risk of fire.

We offer technology that can support your business.
