As an employer and provider of services to residential and domestic homes, FireRite have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect their employees, customers, and others in their own home environment, particularly the more vulnerable.
Pausing non-essential services
FireRite have decided, with immediate effect, to not perform any non-essential services within homes, flats, or residential care living areas.
They will continue to complete servicing and maintenance of systems where the key fire alarm, emergency lighting and nurse call control equipment is accessible without the necessity to enter living accommodation areas. This will also apply for fire extinguisher, dry riser and fire hydrant servicing.
Emergency systems
FireRite will, of course, always attend any emergency situation that arises
This should enable residents to ensure that the majority of fire safety systems are in good working order.
FireRite will, of course, always attend any emergency situation that arises where suitable precautions will be taken to reduce the risk of transmitting or receiving any undiagnosed virus.
Signing
In the case that a client does not wish to sign an engineer’s phone, the engineer will print the client’s name and take a photo of the site as proof of service/reactive call.
FireRite is sure that everyone shares a desire to be proactive in the reduction of risks associated with this virus, so hopefully people will find their proposals acceptable.
Moving forward
FireRite also encourage their clients to inform them should there be any risk to their engineers at any of their sites.
They will continue to monitor the situation closely, including checking the UK Government website advice to ensure they are acting in accordance with guidance from the UK government.
