How we can help
Businesses have a legal obligation to have a fire risk assessment in place to identify hazards and protect employees for any work premises. A fire risk assessment helps prevent fires, ensuring safe evacuation procedures and reduces risks. It must be conducted by a competent person with the appropriate certifications and qualifications.
At Peninsula, our fire risk assessments are certified and approved by the British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) and we are an affiliate member of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM).
