All businesses and organisations are required to carry out Fire Risk Assessments and Staff Training so our main function is to provide the following two services:
Fire Safety Training
Fire Safety Training which is enjoyable, interesting, meets the requirements of delegates, businesses and current legislation. We guarantee a cost effective and professional service which is delivered in an engaging, logical and friendly manner. We strive to always go that little bit further with our delivery and quality of course experience with colour handouts, fantastic course venues and we even hand out complimentary chocolate to all delegates on every course!
Onsite premises fire risk assessments
Onsite premises fire risk assessments carried out by a qualified experienced professional who is on your side! Our fire risk assessor Bob Swanton has over 25 years experience as a Fire Officer. He recently retired from the local Fire Service in 2010 and has joined our team to offer his wealth of experience as a previous enforcing officer. The benefit you gain from having a risk assessment done with Bob, is that he will be able to ensure that you have a suitable and sufficient risk assessment as required by law and if you aren't compliant in any way, advise you on the necessary solutions to gain compliance with cost and time in mind.
