Fire Risk Assessment
As the responsible person/owner, it’s your duty to ensure any fire risks and hazards in your premises are identified and appropriately acted upon. Identifying potential fire hazards may include entry and exit routes, systems for raising the alarm, external buildings, design structures such as a roofs, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers and more. Placing safety measures and identifying potential risks could be a life-saving activity for you and your staff.
Fire Risk Assessment - Why?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 if:
- Your organisation employs more than 5 persons (including the responsible person/owner)
- Your premises are licensed
- You have persons sleeping overnight
- An alterations/prohibitions notice is in force
The Advantages
- Keeps your building, staff, visitors and customers safe from fire
- You have created a safe environment for your business to operate in
- Maintains your market position and assists with your Business Continuity Management process
- Your business and insurance is not jeopardised
- You have performed your moral duty to your staff and other relevant persons who resort to your premises
- Makes your building safer for emergency workers entering your premises
The Consequences
- Businesses can continue to trade in the knowledge that they have minimised the fire risk
- Bad publicity from being fined and potential loss of customers (named and shamed)
- Will your insurance company pay out in the event of a claim, if your business is not compliant?
- Unhappy staff who feel that they are at risk and not valued by their employer
- You have a “duty of care” to protect emergency workers who have to rescue persons from the building
