What Are Your Legal Responsibilities ?
If you are responsible for a non-domestic premises, you have legal responsibilities for fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This includes ensuring that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept up to date.
The person with responsibility for fire safety is known as the Responsible Person. Depending on the type of organisation and premises, this may be an employer, business owner, landlord, managing agent or another person with control of the building. A fire risk assessment should identify potential fire hazards, determine who may be at risk, evaluate the level of risk and set out appropriate measures to reduce or control those risks.
At Absolute Health Fire Safety, we carry out comprehensive fire risk assessments for a wide range of premises across Wakefield and West Yorkshire, including offices, shops, warehouses, factories, care homes, social housing, HMOs, schools, hotels and other commercial and non-domestic properties.
When Should a Fire Risk Assessment Be Reviewed?
There is no blanket legal requirement for every fire risk assessment to be completed annually.
However, the assessment must be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid or there has been a significant change to the premises, its use, occupants or fire safety arrangements.
As professional fire risk assessors, we recommend regular reviews to help ensure your assessment continues to reflect the actual conditions and risks within your premises.
Following your assessment, we provide a comprehensive written report outlining our findings, identified risks and recommendations, giving you a clear and practical action plan for improving fire safety.
Failure to comply with fire safety legislation can have serious consequences, including enforcement action, significant financial penalties, and and criminal prosecution. More importantly, effective fire safety measures can help protect your employees, customers, visitors and property from the potentially devastating consequences of fire.
Don’t leave your fire safety to chance. If you are responsible for a business or premises in Wakefield, contact Absolute Health Fire Safety to arrange your professional fire risk assessment.
What Does a Fire Risk Assessment Include?
A comprehensive fire risk assessment is more than simply identifying potential hazards.
At Absolute Health Fire Safety, we take a systematic approach to assess the risks within your premises and provide clear, practical recommendations to help improve fire safety.
1. Identify Fire Hazards – We identify potential sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen that could contribute to a fire. This may include electrical equipment, machinery, heating systems, combustible materials, storage, work processes and other potential hazards within the premises.
2. Identify People at Risk – We consider who may be exposed to fire and assess whether anyone may be particularly vulnerable. This includes employees, customers, visitors, contractors and other people who may use or occupy the premises, taking into account factors such as familiarity with the building.
3. Evaluate and Control Fire Risks – Once hazards and people at risk have been identified, we evaluate the level of risk and consider the measures already in place. We then provide recommendations to remove, reduce or control identified risks and improve the overall level of fire safety.
4. Record, Plan, Inform and Train – Our findings and recommendations are documented in a comprehensive written report, providing you with a clear record of the assessment and practical actions to address any identified issues. Where appropriate, we can also provide fire safety training to help ensure staff understand their responsibilities.
Review and Keep Your Assessment Up to Date – Fire safety risks can change when a building, its use, occupancy, layout or activities change. Your fire risk assessment should therefore be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur to ensure it remains suitable and reflects the current conditions of your premises.
