Fire Risk Assessment
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states the statutory duty to carry out a fire risk assessment is undertaken by a responsible person. Fire risk assessment is mandatory in the workplace and non-domestic premises.
As the responsible person the law applies to you if you are:
-
An employer or self-employed with business premises
-
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 contractor with a degree of control over any premises
-
Providing accommodation for paying guests
A fire risk assessment is an organised and methodical look at your premises, the activities carried on there and the likelihood that a fire could start and cause harm to employees and visitors. The fire risk assessment will help you determine any significant fire hazards and the risks associated with these hazards so a method to eliminate or reduce the risk can be implemented to ensure adequate fire precautions are provided.
The aims of the fire risk assessment are:
-
To identify the significant fire hazards
-
To identify the people at risk
-
To evaluate, eliminate, reduce and protect from risk
-
Record significant findings and any action taken
