We have won the contract to carry out Fire Risk Assessments for EDF Energy at sites across the UK on behalf of Lorne Stewart. As part of the fire risk assessment process required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, we will make recommendations to improve some of the physical features of fire protection and fire management within EDF Energy sites across the UK. Our assessors will also be advising about means of escape, evacuation and compartmentation issues across various specialist properties.

We have recently completed a number of Fire Risk Assessment Training courses for the London Borough of Newham under a programme to fully familiarise premises managers with their responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO). With over 200 Council properties to protect, including offices, libraries, museums, residential homes, day care and community centres, the courses offered by Fireco are seen as a vital augmentation of Newham's own corporate Fire Safety guidance.
Garry Fisher, Assistant Head of Human Resources (Health and Safety) at Newham Council, comments: 'These courses proved a valuable boost to implementation of the Council's own Health & Safety policy and guidelines. The particular value of these courses was that managers, from different Council departments, were able to cascade what they had learned down to the managers responsible for the individual premises, of which there are over two hundred.’
