Fire Risk Assessment

The law regarding Fire Safety in the UK has changed significantly with the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Practically all buildings, with the exception of single family homes, but including the common parts of residential blocks and converted houses, must now have a Fire Risk Assessment carried out. Action must then be taken to remove or control the risks identified.

Fire Certificates issued by the Fire Brigade are no longer valid.

If the risk assessment is not done and someone is hurt or killed in a fire, then the Responsible Person (the employer or the person who owns or controls a building) could be prosecuted. In buildings with shared freehold the directors of the freehold company are held responsible.

To meet legal requirements the assessment must be conducted by a Competent Person. For an untrained person, conducting a fire risk assessment could be very time consuming and the end result may fail to meet legal requirements.
