Fire Risk Assessments
As a business or commercial property owner, you have a responsibility to ensure your property is fully protected from the threat of fire by carrying out a regular fire risk assessment.
New Guidance to Improve Fire Safety in Buildings
Businesses must be fully aware of the significant and imminent revisions to fire safety legislation – section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 which are due to come into force on 1st October 2023.
Many premises will be affected by the changes including small shops, take-aways, holiday lets and small blocks of flats: The main changes businesses need to be aware of are:
- All businesses will need to record a fire risk assessment and fire safety arrangements in full – regardless of the number of employees, and size or type of business.
- There are increased requirements for cooperation and coordination between Responsible Persons in multi occupied buildings or those where the occupier and owner are not the same person.
- In residential buildings with two or more domestic premises residents must be provided with information on the risks from fire and the fire safety measures provided to keep them safe.
As part of our fire safety services, our fire risk assessor will conduct a fire survey of your premises taking into account all relevant aspects of a fire risk assessment to ensure your property complies with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Our onsite survey will provide you with a full written fire risk assessment report which will provide information and any recommendations for any issues found. It will also highlight whether any further fire safety training is required for employees or occupants. Please contact us if you require any further fire related services.
