We're qualified in Durham to undertake your Fire Risk Assessments ranging from industrial to commercial properties.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a Fire Risk Assessment is necessary in almost all buildings in Durham, other than domestic dwellings. This law applies to you if you're:

• The Landlord of a building.
• Responsible for business premises.
• A charity or voluntary organisation.
• 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 contractor with a degree of control over any premises.
• Providing accommodation for paying guests.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order is the current fire safety legislation that covers most workplaces in Durham today. This legislation stipulates that all employers must carry out a full Fire Risk Assessment, thoroughly examining the potential risk and spread of fire in a commercial property.

Why do I need a Fire Risk Assessment?

• To identify the fire hazards.
• To identify people at risk.
• To evaluate, remove or reduce the risks.
• To record your findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training.

As such, we can carry out Fire Surveys / Assessments on new or existing properties and produce a full, detailed report that will outline any improvement works that may be required.

Durham fire authorities visit properties to check the fire risk assessment and prevention measures to ensure they're appropriate. Fire safety officers should help you understand the rules and how to comply with them.

Minor penalties can be up to £5,000 where major penalties can have unlimited fines and up to 2 years in prison.

E2 Consultants in Durham have a professional, friendly approach and our surveying team are here to help. We would also be able to do your Commercial EPC and Asbestos Survey at the same time as the assessment.

If they think your fire safety measures are not adequate they may issue an informal notice suggesting new safety measures or, alternatively, issue a formal fire safety notice that will explain how fix the problems they found.
