Fireco's building consultancy assesses Viridor

Published: 24 January, 2012

A leading specialist in building consultancy is carrying out fire risk assessments for Viridor, one of the UK's leading recycling, renewable energy and waste management companies, at over 40 of the company's sites across the UK.

As part of the fire risk assessment process, Fireco is making recommendations to improve some of the physical features of fire protection and fire management within newly acquired Viridor sites across the UK.

Viridor's Health & Safety department says that it values the importance of such work in helping the company ensure sites meet their very demanding standards of protection and risk abatement.

Amongst Fireco’s major customers are companies such as the BBC and EDF Energy, through FM companies Lorne Stewart and Johnson Controls.
