The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires every business to have a fire risk assessment. It is down to the responsible person to ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment has been completed and is regularly reviewed. Our fire risk assessment template is designed for simple premises with the following characteristics:
- all the occupants are awake and alert & hence not suitable for any form of residential accommodation
- the premises contains no hazardous materials;
- the premises is not below ground level; and
- the premises has no floor more than 18m above ground level.
If your building falls outside these parameters, you should seek the help of a professional, third party approved fire risk assessor.
Please be aware that considerable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within this article at the time of publication, however any legislative (or other) changes that come into effect after this may render the information out of date until it is reviewed and updated as part of the FPA’s content review cycle.
