WHO MUST HAVE A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?
Since the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) came into force in 2006, the legal requirement to create Fire Risk Assessments falls upon ‘The Responsible Person’ within a business and the old fire certificates, which historically had been completed by the local Fire Service, were scrapped.
Effectively managing fire risks is a crucial aspect of property management. To safeguard against fire hazards, the initial step involves the identification of these potential risks, which is where a Fire Risk Assessment comes into play. A written Fire Risk Assessment isn't just best practice, it's a legal requirement for all businesses, including holiday rentals and blocks of flats. It serves as a systematic evaluation of potential fire hazards within your property, along with specifying the necessary measures to reduce risk.
