Fire Risk Assessments & Fire Safety Training in Carlisle
Carlisle is Cumbria's county town and only city, and its commercial premises run the full range - from the historic retail and hospitality around the pedestrianised centre to the offices, warehousing and light industry on the Kingstown and Rosehill estates.
Every non-domestic premises has a designated Responsible Person who must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. BPW Fire Safety carries this out independently, with reports written in plain English and tailored to your building.

Much of central Carlisle is made up of older and sometimes listed buildings, where compartmentation, means of escape and the interaction between original fabric and later alterations all need careful, practical judgement rather than a box-ticking approach.
From our head office in Penrith we can be in Carlisle quickly - roughly twenty minutes up the M6 - which keeps site visits and follow-up straightforward.
We have used Callum of BPW Fire Safety Ltd for over 6 years to date. They test our fire safety systems in Club Concrete and 3 other bars we own in Carlisle on a monthly basis and provide a report highlighting their findings. They also monitor other risk factors such as electrical safety and housekeeping.
We find this support invaluable when it is too easy to take your eye off the ball when managing a number of very busy venues.
They also review our Fire Risk Assessments on an annual basis and are always available for ad hoc advice and training whenever we need it. This service is delivered for a very reasonable price and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
