The Importance of Fire Risk Assessments
Fires are often thought of as something that rarely happens, but in 2019 alone, the London Fire Brigade dealt with 17,993 fires across the nation’s capital city. Discovering a fire in a property that you own and having to deal with the aftermath isn’t an experience anybody wants to go through, but there are steps you can take to significantly reduce the likelihood of fires occurring in your properties.
A professional fire risk assessment can be absolutely crucial to the building itself and those within it and works by identifying potential vulnerabilities, hazards and areas that need to be improved. By getting ahead and rectifying the problems listed on the risk assessment, the worst can be prevented, saving the lives of those within the premises and the property itself.
Why Do I Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
There are certain circumstances where, as a landlord or property owner in London and throughout the UK, you have a legal obligation to get a fire risk assessment carried out. For all commercial premises or residential properties such as HMO’s (House in multiple occupation), you will need a fire risk assessment carried out if any of the following applies to you:
- You’re responsible, either partly or wholly, for commercial business premises;
- You run a charitable or voluntary organisation;
- You’re a landlord and charge tenants for living at your residential premises;
- You own a company and employ people that work at your business premises;
- You’re a contractor with control over any premises.
If any of the above points do apply to you, then it is your responsibility to ensure that a proper fire risk assessment is conducted. Failing to do so endangers the safety and lives of those within the properties and failing to adhere to fire safety regulations could result in penalties, fines and even imprisonment.
In cases where 5 or more individuals work at the location, or the firm has a licence under enactment in force, the fire risk assessment must be a written record with a definition of a Responsible Person (RP) and documentation on all significant findings.
