Ashton-under-Lyne Fire Risk Assessment FAQs
Answers for Responsible Persons and Property Managers
Fire safety regulations can feel complicated, but we’re here to help. Below are answers to common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Are fire risk assessments compulsory for businesses in Ashton-under-Lyne?
For most non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. This includes identifying fire hazards, considering who may be at risk and determining what measures are needed to reduce those risks.
2. What qualifications should a fire risk assessor have?
An assessor must have the competence, knowledge and experience appropriate to the premises and its level of complexity. Independent registration and third-party certification can provide additional reassurance when choosing a professional fire risk assessment provider.
3. When should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it may no longer be valid. Changes to the building, its occupancy, working practices or fire safety arrangements may trigger a review.
4. Which areas of a building are examined?
The assessment considers relevant fire hazards and precautions throughout the premises. This may include escape routes, fire doors, detection and alarm systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, combustible materials and arrangements for people who may need assistance to evacuate.
5. What should I do if the assessment identifies shortcomings?
Review the findings and take appropriate action to address the identified risks. The report will provide recommendations to help you understand what improvements may be needed. You should also ensure that any necessary measures are implemented and maintained.
