FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS

The law and fire risk assessments in the UK.

The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 & The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for England & Wales requires every business and public premises to carry out a fire risk assessment. It should be noted that there are different regulatory requirements depending on where you live in the UK.

The legislation states : That an employer must carry out a fire risk assessment which will highlight the dangers to employees, contractors, visitors and others who use/or share their premises.

Any findings must be recorded, highlighted and action taken to protect those found to be at risk. That any fire precautions provided must be maintained and kept serviceable so as to safeguard those who may be at risk and that the employer must provide education, instruction & information about the fire precautions, to their staff.

These assessments must be recorded and reviewed regularly.
