Since 1st October 2006, The Regulatory Reform Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person of any and all non-domestic premises to carry out a fire risk assessment. This is essential as if done properly it will effectively assess the likelihood of a fire occurring and highlight all the possible consequences.
The Order simplified and consolidated fire safety legislation so now it provides a risk-based approach to fire safety for all business’, self-employed and also the voluntary sector.
This includes making sure there are measures in place, that will either eliminate or reduce the risk of fire, and all persons that may be at risk.
Technically as your buildings ‘Responsible Person’ you are able to perform a fire risk assessment yourself but it always advised to get some professional help to ensure everything is properly evaluated.
