Once the required risks have been identified the changes must be implemented. If you employ 5 or more people your findings and actions should be fully documented The Fire Brigade now actively enforce the regulations through ad hoc inspections When premises and processes are simple it is within the capabilities of most managers to comply with this Act following attendance of The Fire Risk Assessment Course Where the business operations or premises are more complex it may be more cost effective to have Firesafe Solutions carry out the risk assessment for you.

Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessment is conducted in order to take precautionary measures against any kind of risk of fire-related accidents. The Regulatory Reform Order is a statutory instrument for fire safety. It places the responsibility on individuals to carryout Fire Risk Assessment on certain types of property. The results of this assessment should be submitted to local fire authorities. With the passage of time, the wear and tear of buildings and facilities increase fire risk. Therefore, Fire Risk Assessment is considered a must, and should be conducted after certain regular periods. This applies to all kinds of residential, commercial or industrial buildings and structures. Fire Risk Assessment has also developed into a proper business, and many companies provide services and courses for this purpose.
