🔥 Failing to make suitable and sufficient plans for your fire safety could cost you more than you think (once you get caught)... or worse... have a fire, that could ruin your business... or even worse... have a fire that takes a life or more.
🔥 When was the last Fire Risk Assessment carried out on your business premises?
🔥 When did you last train your fire marshals or fire wardens?
🔥 Are you legally compliant?
🚒 Since the introduction on the 1st October 2006 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 there has been a requirement for all non-domestic premises including the ‘common areas’ of blocks of flats and/or rented accommodation to provide a ‘suitable and sufficient’ fire safety risk assessment.
🦺 There has additionally been a requirement to ensure that you train staff in fire awareness and in many situations, appoint and train fire wardens.
👮🏼♂️The law regarding fire risk assessments applies regardless of how many persons you employ (w.e.f. 1st October 2023, The Building Safety Act 2022: section 156).
👉🏼 This will include ALL non-domestic premises as well as the communal parts of residential buildings if you are a landlord and there are more than one family.
✅ The legislation requires the Responsible Person to carry out a fire safety risk assessment and this assessment must be carried out by a ‘Competent’ person as defined by the Order and recorded.
🏠 If you are a landlord, what this means is that the freeholder or managing agent of a building has a legal duty to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out on the common areas. If they do not carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment then they have not met their legal duty to keep residents (and employees in terms of a business) safe and could face an unlimited fine and/or up to 2 years in prison.
✅ It can be a minefield out there, so for peace of mind, drop us a line for an informal chat.
