What are the legal requirements for fire risk assessments?
The legal framework for fire safety in the UK is primarily governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the accompanying Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. These laws have superseded over 70 individual pieces of fire safety legislation.
Legally, you are required to conduct a fire risk assessment and implement suitable fire safety measures based on the findings of the assessment to minimise the risk to life from fire.
How often do I need a fire risk assessment?
The frequency of fire risk assessments depends on the type of property and its use. We recommend an assessment is reviewed regularly, this can be done by a competent person on the premises. As a general rule, we would say review annually by a fire risk assessor.
If the premises is very low risk, you could review biennially or three-yearly, but no later. It must be reviewed within that time to ensure nothing has changed.
Who can carry out a fire risk assessment?
What should I expect in a fire risk assessment report?
