To find the right balance between safety and cost.

We are here to help you through the process.

A professional & curtious approach based around your needs.

The law requires you to reduce the level of risk to a level that is "as low as is reasonably practical".

The term " reasonably practical" allows you to make decisions based on your risk assessment, without disruption to your working day, keeping costs to a minimum. Providing you show "due diligence" in the completion of a risk assessment and if necessary appoint a "Responsible Person/Company" to assist you the law will be satisfied.

At Osprey Fire Risk Assessment Ltd we recogise the fine balance between safety and cost. As part of our fire risk assessment we will assist you in the compliance issues required and if possible/practical ways to reduce your expenditure, reduce risk and increase your safety levels.

Fire Risk Assessment and the law

The Fire Safety Order 2005 and Fire Safety Act of 2021 covers all premises except private dwellings and identifies " Resposible Persons" who must comply with the Order by careful management of general fire precautions.

Every " Responsible Person" (employer, owner, occupier, leaseholder or hirer) has a legal duty to carry out fire risk assessment on the premises that they have control/are responsible for. This duty is set out under Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire Safety Act of 2021.

Through the risk assessment they must take reasonable precautions to avoid the risk of fire occuring, and to insure in the event of a fire that no relevent person (ie employees, visitors, residents, service users or even persons in the vicinity) would be placed at risk.

If you employ five people or more, or are responsible for the safety of five or more people a risk assessment must be recorded and "the significant findings" must be avaliable for inspection by The Fire Authority and The Health and Safety Executive. Research indicates that up to 80% of businesses have not yet addressed this matter and are operating in breach of the law.
