Do I Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a responsible person to carry out and regularly review a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for any business or premises in the UK. This risk assessment must identify and evaluate all potential fire hazards, evaluate any existing fire safety measures, and assess the risk of injury or death from a fire. The responsible person must also review the fire risk assessment whenever there are significant changes in the premises or activities carried out there.
