Trescray are specialist in the auditing of fire safety systems and will complete a fire risk assessment of any premises. A fire risk assessment helps you identify all the fire hazards and risks in your building.
Fire safety at work is always vitally important. You should make sure you and your staff knows what to do to prevent a fire in the workplace and how they will escape if a fire does break out.
Once a fire has been detected and a warning given, everybody in your workplace should be able to evacuate without being placed at undue risk.
In buildings, deaths from fire are mostly due to the inhalation of smoke. In addition, where smoke is present, people are normally unwilling to travel more than a few feet through it to make their escape. Therefore in the event of a fire, people in other parts of the building can use escape routes to get out safely without being exposed to the smoke or gases from the fire.
Trescray, when assessing the means of escape from the clients workplace, will evaluate whether people could escape to a place of safety before being cut off and exposed to risk of injury.
In smaller, single-storey premises, where access distances are short, the time taken for people to escape once they become aware of the fire can often be measured in seconds rather than minutes. So it is likely that the normal exits will be sufficient in an emergency. In larger premises, where access distances are greater and where it is possible for a single access route to be affected, an alternative means of escape will normally be necessary.
In a lot of cases where the means of escape has recently been approved under building legislation, a fire certificate or a license, the existing arrangements will probably be satisfactory.
