Fire Risk Assessment

Beginning on October 1, 2006, the Regulatory Reform Order mandates every non-domestic premises’ responsible person to do a fire risk assessment, including steps to lessen or eliminate the risk of fire and identify those who are at risk. 

The Regulatory Reform Order’s Article 9, (3) stipulates that a fire risk assessment must be kept current and repeated whenever there has been a major change to the environment, even though the law doesn’t provide a certain frequency for doing so. 

Property Certificates always advises conducting fire risk assessments annually to keep your business safe, despite the fact that most changes in the workplace can seem insignificant.

After the assessment is complete, we provide a written report outlining the results and any necessary next steps. We attempt to process and distribute these documents within 24-72 hours since we recognise their significance. 

How Frequently and for How Long Should Fire Risk Assessments Be Performed? 

The Local Government Association advises that a fire risk assessment be updated every year and should be professionally updated every four years. Because they pose a greater danger than other commercial properties do, it is advised that fire risk assessments for buildings over three floors be reviewed annually and updated every three years.

Who Is In Charge Of Finishing a Fire Risk Assessment? 

The person in charge of the structure or premises is also in charge of conducting the fire risk assessment, whether you choose to do it yourself if competent/qualified or hire a reputable safety management organisation to do it for you. If your company has more than 5 employees, the government mandates that you additionally keep a written record of the results of your fire risk assessment. Determine the risks of fire.

The Steps in a Fire Risk Assessment:

1. Identify who may be at risk
2. Properly evaluate the risk and remove them
3. Take down your findings 
4. Prepare an emergency plan and give employees training 
5. Update the fire risk assessment regularly to keep your business safe
