Although the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order has been in place since October 2006 it is amazing how many UK business owners pose the question “What are fire risk assessments?”
Many people remain blissfully unaware of their legal responsibility to carry out a fire risk assessment or undertake an insufficient assessment. One of the most common failings sited in prosecutions is that of ‘an insufficient fire-risk assessment’.
Many members of staff find themsleves being delegated the responsibility yet lack the knowledge or expertise to undertake an assessment to a reasonable and compliant standard.
In law it is perfectly acceptable to undertake your own assessment if you acknowledge your limitations and seek knowledge and advice to supplement this need. With this in mind I have written ‘The Ultimate Fire Risk Assessment Guide.’ The publication is free and will be updated annually.
Having read the publication you will know where your business fits within the Fire Safety Order and how it specifically applies to you. There are many free guides including the government’s own guides. However they contain advice such as – “Ensure you have adequate fire protection measures (alarms, extinguishers etc.)” – very helpful. How do you know what is sufficient?
This free book takes you beyond the obvious and fleshes out the general statements to help you determine exactly what measures you should put in place to ensure you meet current fire-safety legislation.
