Fire
From 1st October 2006. 'The Fire Safety Order' requires employers to carry out a fire risk assessment; it states that "Where necessary in order to safeguard the safety of relevant persons the responsible person must ensure that the premises and any facilities, equipment and devices provided in respect of the premises under this Order or, subject to paragraph (6), under any other enactment, including any enactment repealed or revoked by this Order, are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair."
BS5839:2002 states that "The period between visits to undertake inspection and service should be based upon a risk assessment but the maximum period between visits should not exceed six months."
Keybury can design new systems to meet a prescribed grade (e.g. as required by an insurer, fire authority or building control) or takeover and maintain existing systems.
