PRESS RELEASE for BAFE UKAS ACCREDITATION
First Scottish
Company to be accredited.
Fire Isk Assessments & Training Ltd has now received
their UKAS accreditation and is the first Fire Safety Consultancy in Scotland that
will deliver fire safety risk assessments which are UKAS BAFE accredited.
BAFE , the registration body for companies that achieve
third party certification for their fire protection services, has confirmed
that Fire Isk Assessments & Training Ltd have now received their UKAS accreditation
and are the first Fire Safety Consultancy in Scotland to achieve this award.
Dennis Webster, the Managing Director of Fire Isk
Assessments & Training Ltd said, “I am delighted with this accreditation
and would like to thank all who contributed towards this award including NSI
who were the Certifying body. The standard of Fire Risk Assessments must be
measureable so our clients can be assured of the competency and quality of the
Assessor. This scheme goes a long way towards meeting this objective. We look
forward to ensuring our high quality with existing and new clients throughout
Scotland.”
The organisation will be listed on the BAFE website and will
carry the BAFE logo.
The SP205 programme is the first independently audited
scheme to ensure the organisation commissioned to carry out a fire safety risk
assessment is competent to do so. Under
SP205 standards, organisations must have the necessary technical and quality
management capabilities and trained staff to carry out a fire risk assessment.
Stephen Adams, BAFE 's general manager, claimed that
businesses will be able to benefit significantly from the new initiative.
He said: " BAFE is very grateful to the original
editorial group who developed the scheme and the UKAS team that has brought
this significant development for the UK fire protection industry to fruition.”
"We are sure that UK property users will gain significantly
from having access to third party certificated assessors."
Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, the duty holder for a
commercial property is required to carry out and implement the findings of a
full fire risk assessment.
Should the fire risk assessment be deemed to be carried out
to an insufficient extent, the Duty Holder can face imprisonment and be
subjected to a fine of up to £20,000 per offence.
