Fire Risk Assessment is mandatory for all non-domestic buildings in the UK under the Regulatory Reforms (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The residential blocks of multi-occupied buildings are also covered under this law; hence, conducting a Fire Risk Assessment at these properties is also a legal requirement.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 requires that the Fire Risk Assessment must be conducted by the “Responsible Person.” A responsible person can be the landlord himself or any other person nominated by him, either from one of the employees or any other professional assessor. It mainly depends on the size and nature of the building. Anyone with a basic knowledge of fire safety can do it for a small workplace. Still, for a big commercial property, you may have to get the services of a professional and qualified risk assessor.
A complete workplace inspection or any other property for compliance with a fire safety order and fire risk assessment must include the following basic elements.
Fire Risk Assessment is not a one-time job. It has to be reviewed at regular intervals, especially if there is a considerable change in the layout of the workplace or the addition of new equipment. The basic idea is to keep the premises free of fire risk. So, keep reviewing and re-assessing the fire risk in the premises under your control as a responsible person.
