Fire risk assessments in Mullingar
Under section 18(2) of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, the person having control of most premises must take reasonable measures to guard against fire and to protect people if one occurs. A fire risk assessment looks at how a fire could start, who is at risk, escape routes, detection and alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors and extinguishers, and gives you a written report with a prioritised action list. Read what happens during a fire risk assessment visit and how often to review one, or see our fire risk assessments page.
Legionella risk assessments and sampling in Mullingar
Legionella bacteria can grow in building water systems that are warm, stagnant or poorly maintained. A Legionella risk assessment looks at tanks, hot and cold water systems, showers and little-used outlets, and recommends practical controls such as temperature checks, flushing and cleaning. We also arrange water sampling and tank cleaning and disinfection. See our Legionella risk assessments page, Legionella testing and how to flush little-used outlets.
Mullingar at a glance
Mullingar is the county town of Westmeath and had 22,667 people in the 2022 Census. It lies close to Lough Ennell and Lough Owel, so alongside town-centre shops, pubs and offices there are guesthouses, holiday lets and clubs that are busy in summer and quiet in winter. Seasonal premises need a Legionella plan that covers little-used showers and taps, and a fire plan that works for guests who do not know the building. See our guide to Legionella in part-time premises, clubs, halls and holiday lets.
Your local fire authority is Westmeath County Council’s fire service.
