Regulatory Reform Order (Fire Safety) 2005
Recent changes mean all work premises must undertake a Fire Risk Assessment BY LAW
Changes to the legislation mean that all work premises must now conduct their OWN Fire Risk Assessment. The Fire Service WILL be checking all work premises to ensure compliance. Failure to undertake a Fire Risk Assessment will result in an enforcement order being issued
All work premises with 5 or more workers MUST formally record the findings of their Fire Risk Assessment and have it available for inspection
Your local Fire Service WILL be coming to all work premises to inspect your Fire Risk Assessment Documentation and your Action Plan
If you change the use of the building or undertake any building work, you WILL need to re-asses the premises
The legal responsibility for this lies with the employer, occupier, owner or landlord
