Fire risk assessments in Athy
Under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 (section 18(2)), the person in control of a premises must take reasonable measures to guard against fire and to protect people if one occurs. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 also requires employers to manage risks to employees. For factories, workshops, warehouses and shops, a fire risk assessment looks at escape routes, detection and alarms, emergency lighting, storage and housekeeping, extinguishers and procedures, and gives you a written report with practical actions.
Legionella risk assessments and sampling in Athy
Legionella bacteria can grow in water systems that are warm, stagnant or poorly maintained. Nursing homes, schools and community buildings often have vulnerable users or outlets that go unused for long periods, so regular checks matter. A Legionella risk assessment reviews your water systems and recommends control measures in line with the HPSC National Guidelines for the Control of Legionellosis in Ireland. Sampling tests the water, with samples analysed by an independent accredited laboratory.
Water tank cleaning and fire extinguishers
We clean and disinfect cold water storage tanks where needed and provide a written record of the work. We also supply and maintain fire extinguishers, including annual servicing.

Do you cover Athy and the surrounding area?
Yes. We cover all of Co. Kildare, including Athy and the surrounding area.
What is the difference between a Legionella risk assessment and sampling?
A risk assessment reviews your water system and identifies risks and control measures. Sampling tests the water for Legionella bacteria. Many premises need both.
How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
It should be reviewed regularly and whenever the premises, occupancy or layout changes significantly. We can advise on what suits your building.
