Regular Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments are required by law for all non-domestic premises under The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005. The law states that assessments should be undertaken at regular intervals. The responsible person should judge how regular the checks should be based on the size, location and nature of the building. Annual risk assessments are the most common for low to normal risk premises, but certain factors should prompt additional assessments. These include:
If the responsible person on site doesn’t feel they are suitably competent to carry out the assessment, there are many companies offering their services who employ trained and experienced assessors who will carry out a thorough check of your premises.
