HQ BUILDING THE BUSINESS FAQ's

A: A national organisation based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, which has been going for nearly 30 years at the time of writing.

Crown will either conduct an audit of your business in order to create bespoke fire risk assessments, or they will just service what you need from a compliance perspective.

This includes emergency lighting, fire alarm, and extinguishers.

A: Fire extinguishers must be serviced annually.

However, they have two different lengths of life, depending on which type of extinguisher you have. If you’re using a foam extinguisher, it should be discharged tested every five years. If you’re using a CO2 extinguisher, it’s every ten years.

So, you need to know your equipment’s shelf life. You also need to make sure that you’re repairing the right piece of kit at the right shelf life at the appropriate time for the appropriate cost.

Another key factor to consider is the necessity of having a fire risk assessment. If anybody goes in or out of your buildings, you need to have one in place. It’s compulsory to protect directors and officials against from culpable manslaughter, and most insurance providers will request to see your fire risk assessment as a condition of covering you.
