Fire risk assessments in Little Island
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 Little Island
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.
Little Island at a glance
Little Island is one of the main business and industrial areas around Cork city, close to the harbour and the main road network, with a large business park, offices, manufacturing, warehouse and distribution units, hotels and a retail park. Large industrial and warehouse buildings have their own fire risks, such as storage, racking, loading areas and machinery, and larger sites often have several tenants sharing alarms and escape routes, so responsibilities should be clear and written down.
Your local fire authority is Cork County Council’s fire service. For a practical starting point, read our guides to the fire safety register and fire alarm testing, servicing and records.
