Under Ireland`s Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, every employer must identify the hazards in his or her workplace, including the fire risks. These hazards must be assessed and presented in a written format as a Fire Risk Assessment. Companies must also comply with specific fire legislation including the Fire Services Act 1981 and 2003, the Building Regulations and various Codes of Practice.

Detailed fire certificate applications must also be submitted for all buildings under the Building Control Act, Building Regulations and Fire Safety Legislation, Part B (Fire) of the Building Regulations 2006 and Associated Codes of Practice. We liaise with the fire authorities for our clients in this process, in order to ensure the best outcome for our clients.
