Understanding fire safety legislation and your responsibilities can help you maintain effective arrangements and protect the people using your premises. Here are answers to common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment required by law?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most non-domestic premises in England and Wales must have a fire risk assessment. The responsible person must identify fire hazards, assess risks to relevant people and ensure appropriate precautions are in place.
2. Who is responsible for fire safety in a commercial building?
The responsible person is generally the employer, building owner or another person who has control of the premises, depending on the circumstances. More than one person may have responsibilities, particularly where buildings are shared, so duties should be clearly established.
3. When should an existing assessment be reviewed?
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid or a significant change occurs. Examples include alterations to the building, changes in occupancy or changes to working practices that affect fire risks.
4. Can Safe I.S. support heritage properties?
Absolutely. We specialize in creating fire risk assessments that respect the unique requirements of Berkshire’s listed and historic buildings.
5. Do you provide fire risk assessments outside of Thatcham?
Yes, while Thatcham is a key service area, Safe I.S. operates nationwide to deliver professional fire risk assessments across the UK.
