Manufacturing facilities by their very nature pose an increased risk of fire from production equipment, storage and processing so specialist knowledge is required to control these potentially hazardous environments.

There are stringent rules in place for premises which can be found in various legislation such as Building Regulations and The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 as well as British Standards and specific premises related guidance documents.

There are five main actions you need to take:

1. Undertake and regularly review the premises Fire Risk Assessment.
2. Install the necessary fire safety systems, equipment and measures.
3. Train staff (and or provided information to occupiers) on the prevention of fire and in the premises fire procedures.
4. Service and maintain all fire safety systems, equipment and measures at the relevant intervals to current British Standards.
5. Keep a record of all of the premises fire safety related information and maintain a fire logbook for the premises.

We understand that each manufacturing environment will have its own unique challenges and requirements so if you manage a manufacturing facility, RES has the experience and know-how to service and maintain all of the premises fire safety systems and measures.

As a business owner or manager of a manufacturing facility, it is your responsibility to protect employees and visitors in the event of a fire. It is essential that the premises fire safety systems and measures are designed, installed and serviced to the applicable Regulations, Standards and the latest Guidance available.
