Fire risk assessments in Ballincollig
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, or see our fire risk assessments page.
Legionella risk assessments and sampling in Ballincollig
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.
Ballincollig at a glance
Ballincollig is a large suburban town west of Cork city, with a big shopping centre, a regional park, many schools and crèches, and business and industrial units along the road to Macroom. A wide mix of retail, office and light industrial premises, plus a lot of newer housing and rented homes, means one town can have very different fire and water safety needs from one street to the next.
Your local fire authority is Cork County Council’s fire service. For a practical starting point, read our guides to fire alarm testing, servicing and records and the fire safety register.
