In 2005 businesses, organisations and landlords were given strict guidelines to follow with regards to fire safety in the form of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. It states that they must carry out Fire Risk Assessments and that the responsibility for fire safety now lies fully with the 'responsible person'.
The responsible person can be a building proprietor, business owner, landlord or an appointed person within an organisation’s staff. If competent to do so, they may carry out the fire risk assessment themselves. There is also the option to outsource the task and employ the services of a professional fire risk assessor who will survey the premises and report back their findings.
We have compiled a selection of useful links to free fire risk assessment guides, fire safety resources and templates which have all been created by the UK Government.
These guides are designed to help businesses understand what a fire risk assessment is, how they might go about completing one and how to implement good fire safety practices.
