Legal Requirements and Process of Fire Risk Assessments

Legal Requirements

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for non-domestic premises in the UK to conduct a fire risk assessment. This applies to:

• Offices and shops
• Premises that provide care, including care homes and hospitals
• Community halls, places of worship, and similar establishments
• The common parts of houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)
• Pubs, clubs, and restaurants
• Schools and sports centres
• Tents and marquees
• Hotels and hostels
• Factories and warehouses

The person responsible for the premises (usually the employer, owner, or any other person in control) must ensure that a fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person.

The Fire Risk Assessment Process

Our comprehensive fire risk assessment process includes the following steps:

1. Identify Fire Hazards:
   • Assess potential ignition sources like electrical equipment, smoking materials, and heating systems.
   • Identify combustible materials present on the premises.
2. Identify People at Risk:
   • Consider who might be especially at risk, such as employees, visitors, or those with disabilities.
   • Evaluate how many people are on the premises at peak times.
3. Evaluate, Remove, or Reduce the Risks:
   • Assess the likelihood of a fire starting and the risk to people from fire.
   • Develop strategies to eliminate or reduce hazards where possible.
4. Record Your Findings, Prepare an Emergency Plan, and Provide Training:
   • Document the significant findings and actions taken or planned.
   • Create an emergency plan that details escape routes, fire assembly points, and evacuation procedures.
   • Ensure all relevant personnel are trained on fire safety procedures.
5. Review and Update the Fire Risk Assessment Regularly:
   • Regular reviews ensure the assessment remains relevant, especially if there are changes in occupancy, use of premises, or fire safety legislation.

ValuFire's team of certified fire safety experts follows this meticulous process to provide you with not just compliance but peace of mind regarding fire safety. We tailor our assessments to meet the specific needs of your property, ensuring all potential risks are addressed efficiently.
