Trial Evacuations & Schemes

Fireco can take care of trial evacuations and training for your business or commercial premises.

We provide an ongoing programme of evacuation schedules and reminders to keep your business compliant with current evacuation procedures and laws.

This is particularly relevant to the owners of any building that is not a stand-alone house (unless the house has a cable car) because the building owner is responsible for ensuring any specified systems (which have mostly life safety systems) continue to ensure the building is safe for people to enter, occupy or work in.
