Can you recommend a fire safety training provider?

Read answer

As a regulatory authority we can not recommend a training provider or provide training. There are many organisations that provide training either at a central venue, or your business. When selecting a provider and course, consider any significant findings from your fire risk assessment and your procedures.

Do you run fire safety training courses – for example, use of extinguishers/how to complete a fire risk assessment?

Read answer

As a regulatory authority we are not allowed to provide training or conduct risk assessments as this could lead to a conflict of interest.

Do I need to notify you about building works or plans for new buildings?

Read answer

No. Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service are statutory consultees, which means that we are consulted by the Local Authority Building Control or Approved Inspector responsible for signing off the construction work. We are notified of all building work through this process, so you only need to deal with one point of contact.
