Fire risk assessments
As experts in all things fire safety, we often get asked about fire risk assessments. A thorough, up-to-date risk assessment represents the foundation for any successful fire safety procedure and is absolutely necessary for any responsible person dealing with fire safety.
Some of those common questions are listed below:
Do I need a fire risk assessment?
Is my fire risk assessment up to date?
Am I the responsible person for fire protection?
If you find yourself asking any of those questions, either to yourself or others in your business, then it’s time to contact Help and Safety at Work Ltd. We will conduct a comprehensive audit of your property and explain exactly what you need to do.
It doesn’t end there, though; if we conclude that you do need to work on anything, we won’t just leave you to it. We can carry out a full fire risk assessment for you and then help you take practical steps to overcome any issues. We can service your fire extinguishers, carry out fire training for you, and much more.

Where are we based?
We’re based over in Thrapston, just outside Kettering, Northamptonshire. From there, we’ve successfully built up an established client base throughout the neighbouring towns of Northampton, Peterborough, Cambridge, and Milton Keynes. We’ve also worked with a great many clients further afield, however; a number of our customers are based down in Banbury, Oxford, High Wycombe, and Stevenage – provided you’re somewhere between London and Midlands, Help and Safety at Work has your firs risk assessment covered.
The way we work is obviously suited to us coming out to see you, but it does sometimes happen that our customers need to visit us. In that case, our location on the A14, under 20 minutes from the M1, makes accessing our offices nice and easy for all of our visitors.
Who needs a safety check?
Business owners and persons responsible for the day to day running of an organisation are being prosecuted for failure to complete a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment for which they are responsible.
From the moment you operate you must have a Fire Risk Assessment in place as The Fire Safety Order states this is for where people “work meet or gather”. There are no exemptions, so even the new small start up business’…get that report completed!
