New installations

Following risk assessment by ourselves or others it may be deemed that your premises requires a new system or additions to the existing system in situ.  If deemed so Crystal Fire Detection can engineer a system  to meet with these requirements and provide an effective and reliable solution to ensure your legal compliance.  This will begin by:

Fire Risk Assessments

“The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that all employers carry out a Fire Risk Assessment of their premises. If there are more than five employees the results of the Fire Risk Assessment must be recorded in writing and kept available on the premises”

By using over 200 years of qualified experience within the fire safety industry we can provide up-to-date advice and consultancy enabling you as an employer to meet your legal requirements.
It is not unusual to find that employers are not familiar with this requirement and that they assume that possession of a Fire Certificate is sufficient. Fire Certificates are no longer in force, and current legislation does require that all workplaces be subjected to a Fire Risk Assessment.

The Fire Risk Assessment must be completed by a person deemed to be competent.  “The Competent person or fire risk assessor need not possess any specific academic qualifications but should:

• Understand the relevant fire safety legislation;
• Have appropriate education, training, knowledge and experience in the principles of fire safety;
• Have an understanding of fire development and the behavior of people in fire;
• Understand the fire hazards, fire risks and relevant factors associated with the occupants at special risk within the building of the type in question, and have appropriate training and/or experience in carrying out fire risk assessments.”

This service obviously requires a visit to the client’s premises and results in a written report that will satisfy the requirements of the regulations.
The assessments are carried out by professional fire consultants. Their experience often reveals shortfalls that have existed for many years but which could have led to serious problems had a fire occurred.
