Our after sales service and commitment to the customer and the Fire Protection Industry is the reason we have regular customers who value our service and quality.

As part of this commitment we can now offer a wider range of fire safety services including fire training courses for our customers to meet the needs of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and provide training for their staff at various levels of seniority.

This training will not only safeguard your staff and visitors but will provide an insight into how you can protect your premises and business in terms of disaster planning and mitigation, and this may be a requirement of your insurance body.

If any customer requires a tailored made package for their organisation or industry we can create a bespoke course made to suit your specialised needs.

All our training and fire training advice is conducted by ex Fire Officers.
These courses may achieve accreditation by approval bodies dependent upon content, either with the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) or The Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM).

Further to the changes to the Fire Safety Legislation, implemented from the 1st October 2006, together with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) the “responsible person” for each non domestic premise will be required to carry out an assessment of the risks from fire and then implement steps to reduce or remove these risks.

This process includes identifying fire hazards and who is at risk, whilst also reviewing items such as the means of Escape, Fire Training, Fire Safety Management systems and other issues for example fire extinguisher provision and fixed fire suppression installations.
