Fire Risk Assessment
A Fire Risk Assessment is designed to mitigate the risk of a fire by examining the structure of a building, its contents and primary use, to identify potential hazards and fire safety risks. As a business owner, employer, landlord, or individual who maintains control of the property, you are the “Responsible Person” and are ultimately accountable for the fire safety of that premises and the individuals within it.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that any commercial premises with more than 5 occupants, whether an office, shop, hotel, healthcare facility or shared accommodation etc. must ensure that a thorough Fire Risk Assessment has been carried out by a Competent Person and is reviewed at regular intervals. The Order has been rigorously enforced since 2006, with large fines and potential imprisonment imposed on the Responsible Persons for significant breaches.
