Fire Risk Assessment FAQs for Southampton
Common Fire Safety Questions
We know that fire safety can be complex, so we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to make the process simpler and clearer.
1. Is a fire risk assessment legally required?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for most non-domestic premises to carry out and maintain an appropriate fire risk assessment. The assessment should identify fire hazards, consider people at risk and determine the measures needed to reduce the risk.
2. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every building. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who occupy it.
3. What does a fire risk assessment cover?
An assessment considers fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, people who may be at risk, existing fire safety measures, means of escape and other relevant arrangements. The findings are then used to identify where additional measures or improvements may be required.
4. Does a change of use require a new fire risk assessment?
A change in how a building is occupied or operated can alter the fire risks and the people exposed to them. The fire risk assessment should therefore be reviewed whenever there is a significant change of use or other alteration that could affect fire safety.
5. What happens if the assessment identifies fire safety risks?
The report will explain the findings and provide practical recommendations for addressing identified issues. The responsible person can then use these findings to plan and implement appropriate remedial measures.
