Fire Risk Assessments - Fire in the Workplace
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which became effective from 1 October 2006, requires that commercial properties, including the communal areas of blocks of residential flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMO’s), do away with conventional Fire Certificates and replace with up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment.
Our fully trained team can provide full Fire Risk Assessments on all types of property.
When the Order came into force all existing fire legislation was repealed and Fire Certificates were no longer issued, having now been replaced with the requirement for a Fire Risk Assessment.
Employers, managing agents, etc. now have responsibility for fire safety within their workplace or the building for which they are responsible for. If you are:
- An employer
- Self-employed with business premises
- Responsible for business premises (including the common areas of flats/HMO’s)
- A charity or voluntary organisation
- A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
this new Law will affect you.
The Order states the following:
“The responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed for the purpose of identifying the general fire precautions he needs to take to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed on him or under this Order.”
