Fire Risk Assessments

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order came into effect in 2006 replacing previous Fire Safety Legislation and placing responsibility for Fire Safety onto business owners heads of organisations.

Fire Risk Assessments are a legal requirement for all UK businesses and organisations. If more than 5 people are employed this assessment must be documented and made available for inspection by local authorities and Fire Services.

Using Fire Officers who are fully trained in all aspects of Fire Risk Assessing, FireSafe UK will attend your premises at an agreed time and carry out a full site survey of your premises. We will then provide you with a full written report outlining any improvements and actions required.

There are 5 steps in Fire Risk Assessments :-

• Identify the hazards
• Identify who may be at risk and how
• Evaluate and act on the findings
• Record the findings
• Train your staff

Fire Risk Assessments should then be regularly reviewed and updated.

Some of the premises requiring assessments include :-

Shops, Offices, Factories, Warehouses, Sporting Venues, Entertainment and Leisure Venues, Hotels, Care Homes, Places of Education and Communal areas of Flats.
