E2 Consultants in Portsmouth are qualified to undertake your FRA.

We undertake Fire Risk Assessment Surveying work ranging from industrial to commercial properties.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a Fire Risk Assessment is necessary in Portsmouth in almost all buildings, other than domestic dwellings.

The law applies to you if you are:

• An employer or self-employed with business premises responsible for part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes.
• A contractor with a degree of control over any premises.
• Responsible for business premises.
• Providing accommodation for paying guests.
• The Landlord of a building.
• A charity or voluntary organisation.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order is the current fire safety legislation that covers most workplaces in Portsmouth 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.

E2 Consultants' Fire Risk Assessors in Portsmouth are all highly qualified having attended and passed specialist fire safety courses at the Fire Service College. 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.

We offer the following services through one of our associate companies:

Portsmouth 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. 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.

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