Regulatory Compliance
Flameguard Fire Protection is proud to be quality assured to provide a high standard Fire Risk Assessment service. The BAFE Life Safety Fire Risk Assessment (SP205) scheme has been developed by BAFE with industry experts committed to providing quality guidance in relation to fire safety primarily emphasising the importance of fire risk assessments.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) of 2005 was formed to address a number of inconsistencies in this previous fire protection regulation.

Before the RRFSO legislation consisted of over 70 pieces of individual pieces of legislation and two major acts - The Fire Precautions Act 1971 and Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997.

The RRFSO law affects all non-domestic premises in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It applies to you if you are an employer, responsible for business premises, self employed with business premises or a contractor with some control over premises. It also applies to charities and voluntary organisations.

The resulting Document is necessarily detailed but is presented in a smart folder in an easy to follow format in accordance with Government Guidelines. It includes a copy of the original checklist, a photographic action report, a summary of the significant findings as required by the Law. Also included are advisories and policy templates you may need to follow and implement.

A PDF format will also be available.
