Fire Risk Assessments And What You Need To Know
A Fire Risk Assessment forms part of fire safety regulations as detailed by the UK Government. It must identify any fire safety risks on a business premises and reduce those risks where possible. It must be reviewed regularly and updated when necessary. The Assessment should be reviewed at least every 12 months, and specifically following any changes to the business premises, for example after adding an extension, a change of layout or the building’s purpose.
The Assessment must be carried out by a competent person, preferably with the required knowledge and experience of fire safety standards. Grenville Fire Protection employ fully qualified Fire Risk Assessors to support customers and ensure they meet their obligations by law. Using the expertise of an Assessor helps to ensure that nothing is overlooked or missed, with risks being properly identified and mitigated.
Penalties and enforcements are imposed if businesses do not follow fire safety regulations.
Fire Risk Assessments are a legal requirement according to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and this responsibility usually lies with the employer or landlord.
