Overview
A Fire Risk Assessment is a formal review of a premises to identify fire hazards, decide who could be harmed, evaluate the risks, and put measures in place to prevent fire and protect people if a fire occurs. For businesses, this is not just good practice; it is a legal duty. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that a fire risk assessment is carried out and regularly reviewed.
Why This Matters
Fire is one of the most serious workplace hazards. A fire can spread rapidly, causing injury, death, and destruction of property. A proper fire risk assessment identifies fire hazards specific to your premises, evaluates the risks, and ensures you have appropriate prevention and protection measures in place. This protects lives, property, and your business continuity.
