Fire risk assessments in Dundalk

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. A fire risk assessment looks at fire hazards, escape routes, detection and alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, housekeeping and procedures, and gives you a written report with practical actions.

Legionella risk assessments and sampling in Dundalk

Legionella bacteria can grow in water systems that are warm, stagnant or poorly maintained. 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 (2009). Sampling tests the water, with samples analysed by an independent accredited laboratory. See our Legionella risk assessments and sampling and the guide to sampling versus risk assessment.

Water tank cleaning and disinfection

Cold water storage tanks that are dirty or poorly covered can contribute to Legionella risk. We clean and disinfect tanks where needed. Find out why tank cleaning and disinfection matters.

Fire extinguishers

We supply and maintain fire extinguishers, including annual servicing. See fire extinguisher sales and maintenance.

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.

It should be reviewed regularly and whenever the premises, occupancy or layout changes significantly. We can advise on what suits your building.

Dundalk at a glance: fire and water safety for local premises

Dundalk is the county town of Louth and, with 43,112 people in the 2022 Census, the second largest town in the State. It sits on the Dublin to Belfast corridor close to the border, so its shops, hotels, restaurants and manufacturing and distribution units serve customers and staff from both sides of the island. Workplaces with shift work and visitors coming and going need escape routes, alarms and drills that work at any hour.

Your local fire authority is Louth County Council’s fire service.
