Risk Assessment

Ben Fildes of Fildes Fire Safety

Ben Fildes TIFireE MIFSM

My fire risk assessments are designed to examine the potential risk and spread of fire in your commercial, public or even private property.

Carrying out a fire risk assessment can be a complex and baffling process. That’s why you need a fully registered Fire Risk Assessor like me, I offer a full fire risk assessment that is then clearly written up and verified by a second officer, so you know what, if any, action points need to be taken to keep you safe and legal.

This keeps you in the knowledge you’re conforming to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. Something that if you’re not can carry heavy fines and even a jail sentence.

I have the experience to address the specific characteristics of your premises, and will provide a thorough Fire Risk Assessment.
