What does the Law state?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005:

It was introduced in October 2006 to Fire and rescue authorities and other bodies ('enforcing authorities') who have a duty to enforce fire safety in non-domestic premises.

Article 9 Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)

The purpose of the FRA, is to reduce the risk of fire, identify the people at risk and the general fire precautions required to keep people safe e.g. 'Relevant Persons'.

The report will highlight:

What do we assess?

People

Who and why they could be at Risk

Hazards

We will identify any potential issues

Risk

We assess the overall Risk

How long will it take?

Depending on the size of the property and the number of areas to be inspected we estimate a small building to be less than 1/2 a day.

If we find issues...

If there are any problems identified with the risk assessment we carry out, we are able to fix them and recommend a plan of action to resolve those issues.

How long is it valid?

Usually 12 months.

Pre-visit requests

Depending on the building type, we will advise you well in advance of our requirements, i.e. it could be to provide your fire drill records, otherwise we can go about our business unsupported.
