Fire risk assessments in Newbridge
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 shops, shopping centres, warehouses and industrial units, 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 Newbridge
Legionella bacteria can grow in water systems that are warm, stagnant or poorly maintained. Premises that are only used part of the week, such as clubs, community halls and sports facilities, can be at particular risk because outlets go unused between visits. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Newbridge and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work across Ireland, including Newbridge and the surrounding area of Co. Kildare.
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.
