Working with you to meet your legal requirements
The law now states that a business holds a “responsible person” when it comes to fire safety, and that individual must perform tasks such as:
- Carrying out a full risk assessment, and updating it on any changes to the premises or working practices
- Producing a fire safety policy
- Developing evacuation procedures
- Providing staff training
- Arranging regular fire drills
- Providing and maintaining a clear means of escape, signs & notices
- Providing a Fire Alarm system and Fire Extinguishers, designed in line with the risk assessment
The legislation states that the responsible person must appoint one or more “Competent Persons” to assist them, and that the “competent person/organisation” needs sufficient training, experience and knowledge with a third party accreditation to prove competency.
Don’t let this extensive list of requirements make you panic, as we can take care of this on your behalf. AVA consultants have undergone extensive training and passed the relevant examinations to be able to provide you with a means of contracting out the bulk of your legal requirements, whilst ensuring that you are complying with your legal responsibilities. In short, AVA can operate as your Competent Person, allowing you to concentrate on running your business.
