Compliance Checks

What Is a Compliance Check?

Fire Services are responsible for enforcing fire safety legislation and conduct audits to assess compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. A compliance check serves as a preliminary review to evaluate your adherence to fire safety regulations before an official audit by the local authority. This check helps you avoid potential enforcement actions, prohibition notices, and negative public exposure.

At JM Fire Safety Services Ltd, we will examine your fire safety measures and management practices, perform a thorough inspection of your premises, and identify areas of non-compliance. We will also provide advice on how to enhance your compliance, ensuring you avoid regulatory issues and are well-prepared for any official inspections.

Think of a compliance check as a proactive service, similar to a pre-M.O.T. service for your vehicle.

What Are the Consequences of Not Having a Compliance Check?

While a compliance check is not a legal requirement, it offers significant benefits. It provides reassurance that your premises comply with the Fire Safety Order and enhances your understanding of your fire safety obligations. Additionally, it helps you prepare for visits from local enforcement authorities, potentially mitigating any regulatory issues you might face.
