What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a methodical and comprehensive review process that involves examining and assessing potential hazards or risks that could lead to a fire and ascertain the level of risk they pose to determine what action needs to be taken.
The aim of a fire risk assessment is to remove any identified risks and hazards, or where applicable reduce them to acceptable levels.
Legal Responsibility
The 2005 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order states that the ‘Responsible Person’ must make sure a suitable and sufficient risk assessment is conducted in order to identify any fire precautions that may need to be taken.
This ‘Responsible Person’ is usually the landlord, employer or property owner. Failure to ensure that a proper fire risk assessment has been carried out or that it has been reviewed regularly can lead to serious consequences for those responsible and could result in fines, penalties and even imprisonment.
If you are responsible for a building then it is your legal duty to ensure that a fire risk assessment has been carried out. This compliance is mandatory if the property falls under these categories;
- Business premises
- HMO
- Accommodation for paying guests
- Charities, churches, voluntary organisations
- Premises open to consumers and the public
- Care homes and medical facilities
- Residential property with shared or communal areas
