Why Limerick premises need a fire risk assessment

Under section 18(2) of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, a person in control of premises other than a dwelling house must take reasonable measures to guard against the outbreak of fire and to protect people on the premises. Employers must identify hazards and keep a written risk assessment under section 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Fire authorities have powers of inspection and enforcement under the Fire Services Acts. A fire risk assessment is the practical way to show you are managing these duties in Limerick.

Limerick City and County Fire and Emergency Services has a fire prevention section and promotes fire safety awareness; see its fire services overview.

How it works

1. Tell us about your premises. What it is used for, how big it is, who uses it and what records you already hold.
2. Site visit. We go through the building with you, area by area.
3. Written report. What we found and what we recommend, in plain English.
4. Prioritised actions. A clear order of work, so urgent items are dealt with first.

What is in your report

Your report sets out the hazards found, the people at risk, the fire safety measures already in place and a prioritised list of recommended actions you can hand to your maintenance team, landlord or managing agent. We are happy to answer questions once you have read it. See our guide on acting on your fire risk assessment report.

Legionella risk assessments in Limerick

Legionnaires’ disease is a serious form of pneumonia caught by breathing in fine droplets of contaminated water. The bacteria multiply in water held between 20°C and 45°C, which makes poorly controlled hot and cold water systems the most common source in buildings.

Our legionella risk assessment identifies where your system could allow bacteria to grow and gives you a written plan to control it. We check storage tanks, water heaters, pipework, showers and taps, record temperatures and flag outlets that are rarely used. Employers have a duty to assess this risk under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Biological Agents Regulations 2013.
