Fire Risk Assessments

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including the common parts of blocks of flats and requires that the responsible person provides a “suitable and sufficient” Fire Risk Assessment

The idea simply put is to carry out a “Safety Assessment” of your building & will take into consideration the following;

  • Building Layout & Height
  • Any Sleeping Risks
  • Life Safety Equipment
  • Electrical & Gas Installations
  • Employees & Training
  • Identifying Hazards & Risks
  • Cooking Equipment, Heating & Ventilation

 

The objective is simple – The idea of the Fire Risk Assessment is to remove the Risk from the building & the Employees/Residents.

Most Building Insurers will ask for a Copy of these documents or recommend these are carried out regularly

Do I need to have a Fire Risk Assessment carried out?

The law applies to you if you are:

  • If you have 5 or more Employees
  • Responsible for business premises
  • An employer or self-employed with business premises
  • Responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
  • A charity or voluntary organisation
  • A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
  • Providing accommodation for paying guests
  • Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan.
