Fire Risk Assessment by Alpha Consultancy

Friday, September 10th, 2010

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 and replaced over 70 pieces of fire safety law. It replaced most fire safety legislation with one simple order, with the aim to ‘simplify, rationalise and consolidate existing fire safety legislation’.

The Order requires fire precautions to be put in place ‘where necessary’ to ensure that everyone on the premises, or nearby, can escape safely if there is a fire.
The main rules under the Order mean that the ‘responsible person’ must;

  • Carry out a fire risk assessment identifying any possible dangers and risks,
  • Consider who may be especially at risk,
  • Get rid of or reduce the risk from fire and provide general fire precautions to deal with any residual risk, and
  • Create a plan to deal with any emergency.

If your organisation employs five or more people, your premises are licensed or an Alterations Notice is in force, you must record the significant findings of the assessment.  It is however good practice to record your significant findings.
