Electrical Maintenance is the repair, care and servicing of your electrical installation. Electrical systems are required to be maintained to ensure they are safe for continued use but also to reduce any downtime to commercial operations if a failure occurs.
Electrical systems are required by legislation to be maintained and to ensure electrical compliance.
There are a number of methods of electrical maintenance such as:
Emergency Lighting Electrical Installation Condition Reports
Portable Appliance Testing Preventive maintenance
Reactive maintenance visits Visual inspections
-
Fire compartmentation is the subdivision of buildings into manageable areas of risk. This will help to prevent the spread of fire and smoke and provide adequate means of escape. A fire risk assessment will typically not include an extensive assessment of fire compartmentation in out-of-reach areas, such as above suspended ceilings, which is why a detailed compartmentation survey should be completed.
Safety for Work Limited carry out compartmentation surveys of premises to assess the existing standard of construction and to identify any defects that may compromise the compartmentation strategy for the building.
The standard scope for a non-intrusive compartmentation survey first involves a detailed review of the building plans, followed by a site visit to visually inspect the key compartment lines. The resulting report provides a review of each area inspected and can be used by an appointed fire stopping contractor to price and carry out remedial works.
Ensuring appropriate fire separation throughout a building is one of the most effective, but often least considered, means of protecting premises and their occupants. Our team of experienced assessors can undertake non-invasive and where required, invasive, surveys to check not only that compartmentation exists but that it is suitable for the circumstances.
To meet the legal requirements of the RRO, building owners and occupiers must ensure that the fire compartmentation in their buildings is robust and being adequately managed and maintained.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, organisations must ensure that the fire protection components within a building: “are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.”
-
Fire doors are a critical aspect of fire safety in any building, being part of the structure's compartmentation to contain fires within areas of the building and slowing the spread of fire and smoke so that escape routes remain safe for as long as possible. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person of a company must ensure that fire doors are installed, maintained, and repaired as necessary to keep them fit for purpose at all times.
Safety for Work Limited offer expect advice to ensure that your fire doors meet current standards and regulations, through every stage of the process. Our qualified surveyors and engineers can inspect existing fire doors, as well as measure, specify, and install new fire doors and frames with all essential hardware.
Our qualified inspectors will assess your fire doors to ensure they are fit for purpose. As part of the inspection, you will receive a full report that will detail which of your fire doors are compliant – on any doors that are deemed not to be compliance, we can offer a certified installation service carried out be qualified fire door installers.

Whether it is your fire extinguishers, fire alarm or dry risers, this are vitally important to companies, landlords, property management agents and small business owners. Ensuring the safety of residents and the public in the event of fire is a legal obligation. Safety for Work Limited, can provide you with all your servicing needs to ensure that guarantees your complete peace of mind - always.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
When it comes to fire risk assessments, the responsible person for the buildings are legally required to complete fire risk assessments.
Whether is its employers, building owners, or landlords, they must ensure that the building/s they are responsible for are assessed – to identify fire risks and hazards – and what needs to take place to reduce them.
There are four types of risk assessments, they are as follows - Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 & Type 4.
Dependant on what type of building it is, what it is used for and what is identified during inspection will determine what the type of fire risk assessment is required.
Generally, they are:
-
A Type 1 Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is non-destructive, and the most common. A Type 1 FRA assesses all the common parts of a building, such as a lobby area in a shared block of flats – but not individual dwellings. In some cases, a Type 1 FRA will inspect construction points between individual dwellings (such as shared supportive walls) – but in most cases, this is not necessary.
A Type 1 FRA has the purpose of ensuring that common parts of a building have the arrangements which allow people to escape if there was to be a fire – such as clear signage pointing to entry and exit points.
The results of a Type 1 FRA may reveal the requirement for further FRAs. If this is the case, the Type 1 FRA will list reasons why this would be required.
-
Type 2 Fire Risk Assessments are rare, and normally only recommended if a Type 1 FRA concluded that there may be serious structural flaws in a building which may increase the risk of fire spreading.
A Type 2 FRA includes destructive sampling. This increases the cost of this type of assessment because a contractor would be required.
-
A Type 3 Fire Risk Assessment is comprehensive – and covers more than the law requires. This type of assessment covers all common areas of a building – and individual dwellings.
A Type 3 FRA considers all means of escapes (including those within individual dwellings), structures, and compartmentation between flats and any means of fire detection. A Type 3 FRA is non-destructive – and is usually only considered necessary if there are fire risks within individual dwellings.
Landlords and building owners can find it difficult to arrange Type 3 FRAs because they require entrance into individual dwellings. Often this type of assessment is easier if living spaces are empty.
-
Type 4 Fire Risk Assessments are similar to Type 2 FRAs, as they include a destructive sampling, but in both the common parts of a building and living areas – such as apartments. Type 4 FRAs are more comprehensive – and complicated to complete. This is because access to individual dwellings is required and destructive sampling can lead to a need for repairs.
Type 4 FRAs are only required in a limited number of circumstances, usually only being suggested if there is reason to believe there are serious defects in both common parts of a building or individual dwellings.
Most buildings only require a Type 1 FRA – and if the building is not new, this has probably been conducted in the past. The other types of fire risk assessments are normally only required if a Type 1 assessment finds risks or justifications for a more comprehensive assessment.
