Risk Assessment
On the 1st October 2006, fire safety laws in England and Wales changed.
The changes affect anyone responsible for non-domestic buildings. That includes:
- People responsible for business premises
- Employers
- Self employed people with business premises
- Voluntary organisations and charities
- Contractors with control over any premises
Emphasis is now on preventing fires and reducing risk and it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone who uses your premises.
That means you are now required by law to carry out a fire risk assessment in your premises and act on the findings. Fire certificates will no longer be valid.
Help is at hand
The government has produced a series of guides for different business sectors. These guides will give you more information about how to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment. You can download the guides at www.communities.gov.uk/fire.
Do you need a fire risk assessment? We can help.
If you read the government’s guide and decide you are unable to apply the guidance, or if your premises are complex and need to be assessed by a person who has experience and training in fire risk assessment, then we can conduct a comprehensive fire risk assessment for you.
