Compensation Claim was made following an incident of Fire. A compliant Fire

New, newly realised Schools or Schools subject to material
changes and expansion would be subject to the requirements of
- The Department for Children, Schools and Families Building Bulletin 100: Design for Fire Safety in Schools
BB 100 is a design guide, which identifies how the
requirements for Life Safety, contained in the Building Regulations, can be met
in the design of a new School or an Extension.
This is centred on a Risk-Based approach, and our Fire Risk
Assessments can identify, qualify and satisfy this approach to cover all of the
principles of Fire Safety Management and outline the Fire Protection measures,
both existing and proposed which should be considered.
Entertainment, Restaurants & Bars
This Sector includes; Theatres, Cinemas, Concert Venues,
Restaurants, Cafes, Pubs, Clubs, Exhibition, Conference, Community, Village,

assemble, looking for either light entertainment or enlightenment, and we make

The Fire Risk
Assessment on a Premise such as those identified should allow those
managing the Premise to do just that and let us worry about the Fire Safety.
You know your Business but we know all of the relevant Guidance
including Department for Communities.
Local Government Guidance. Fire Safety Risk Assessment.
- Fire Safety in Small to Medium Places of Assembly
- Fire Safety in Large Places of Assembly
- Fire Safety in Places of Worship
We not only know how to satisfy the Guidance, we know how
best to use it, for example; In any Licensed Premise, the Regulatory Reform
(Fire Safety) Order 2005 takes precedence over the Licensing Authority and
therefore any restrictions on the Premise, such as the capacity limit, would have
to be in accordance with the findings of the Fire Risk Assessment.
A Fire Risk
Assessment is a Legislative requirement that you have to meet but it should
also meet your expectations and work for you.
