If you're responsible for fire safety at a premises in Buckhurst Hill, you may have questions about when an assessment is required, what it involves and what happens afterwards. We've answered some of the most common questions below.
1. Is a fire risk assessment legally required?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places fire safety duties on the responsible person for most non-domestic premises in England and Wales. This includes duties to carry out and regularly review an appropriate fire risk assessment.
2. Who is considered the responsible person?
Depending on the premises and circumstances, the responsible person may be an employer, building owner, landlord, occupier or another person who has control of the premises or fire safety responsibilities.
3. What will the assessor look at during the assessment?
Our assessor considers the building and its use as a whole, including potential sources of ignition, combustible materials, people who may be at risk, escape arrangements and existing fire safety measures. The assessment is intended to establish the significant risks and whether additional measures are required.
4. How long will my assessment take?
There is no standard duration because every property is different. The size, complexity, layout, occupancy and use of the premises will all influence how long the assessment takes. We allow sufficient time to inspect the property properly rather than rushing the process.
5. What will I receive after the assessment?
You'll receive a written report documenting the significant findings from the assessment and any recommendations arising from them. This provides a useful record for managing your ongoing fire safety responsibilities.
