Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessments became compulsory on 1st October 2006, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

It is now a LEGAL requirement for ALL business operators to undertake Fire Risk Assessments. The legislation specifies that it is the business owner or controller who is responsible for Fire Safety and Fire Risk Assessments and not just the property owner.

The Fire Safety Order reforms Fire Safety Law in non domestic premises in England and Wales, it replaces Fire Certification under the Fire Precautions Act 1971 with duties to:

Carry out a Fire Risk Assessment
Ensure the safety of employees, so far as is reasonably practicable
Take fire precautions to ensure that premises are safe for employees and non-employees

The main duty holder is the 'responsible person' in relation to the premises. The duty of the responsible person are extended to any person who has, to any extent, control of the premises and to the extent to which they have control. This would include Landlords, Facilities Managers, Employers Occupying Premises, etc.
