Welcome to pkhfiresafe.

Pete Hince MIFireE, MIFSM, SIIRSM has served in the fire service for over 31 years; most of his career he spent in the Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service. Whilst serving Pete has taken every opportunity to train in the skills required to carry out fire risk assessments, having been involved in risk assessments, as well as all aspects of fire safety for so long, Pete is well versed in all aspects of the previous fire safety legislation as well as the current legislation.

To ensure his knowledge base was complete and in-depth; Pete has attended the Fire Service College at Moreton in Marsh many times, undertaking fire safety courses to provide the underpinning knowledge required to carry out fire risk assessments. He specialised in risk assessment within the fire service, for many years.

Pete now has extensive knowledge of this complex and sometimes perplexing piece of business legislation.

If a notice has been served against your premises by an enforcing authority then you need to act quickly to meet the needs of the notice and achieve legal compliance,I can assist with this.

I am trained Fire Safety Auditor and has completed PAS 79 fire risk assessor course. I have had responsibility for auditing licensing applications and also consulted on building regulation submissions and commented within the RRO framework.And audited many types of premises from hotels to nursing homes, house in multiple occupation, common areas of flats, mainly concentrating on premises with a higher life risk.

My background has also been in fire fighter safety which is governed by the Fire Services act 2004 section 7(2) d. This involved risk assessment of premises and businesses, so that should an incident occur then the fire crews attending it would be provided with information regarding the processes carried out and layout and construction and any associated hazards of the premises, the purpose of which is to enhance fire fighter safety. Should the worst happen and your premise is involved in a fire, the more accurate, detailed and complete information you can provide the fire service, the more chance there is of minimising the damage to your business.

I have been involved with dynamic risk assessment at operational incidents including fires, road traffic accidents, persons trapped in machinery and water related incidents. This experience means he will notice the risks that a less well trained individual may miss.
