Fire Safety Services
Fire safety is a legal obligation, not a discretionary service. Failure to comply with UK fire legislation can result in enforcement action, unlimited fines and criminal liability for responsible persons.
At Calcon, we deliver fully managed Fire Safety services designed to protect life, safeguard property and ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and associated British Standards.

Compliance & Legal Responsibilities
Under UK fire safety legislation, the “Responsible Person” (often the employer, landlord or managing agent) must ensure that:
-
Fire risks are assessed and controlled
-
Fire detection and warning systems are maintained
-
Firefighting equipment is serviced
-
Escape routes are protected
-
Documentation is kept up to date
Non-compliance can result in prohibition notices, prosecution and personal liability.
Calcon ensures fire safety compliance is structured, scheduled and fully documented within your wider Facilities Management framework.
Planned vs Reactive Fire Safety Maintenance
Reactive fire safety management creates unacceptable risk.
Our FM-led model prioritises:

Scheduled inspections
-
Compliance tracking

Digital record management
