Are you unsure if you need a fire risk assessment of your business or other non-domestic premises? Safety Advisors like to keep things simple. With this straight talking, informative blog, we answer all your questions.
Who is responsible for Fire Safety?
- An employer
- The owner
- The landlord
- An occupier
- Anyone else with control of the premises, eg the facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor
Your Responsibilities
- Carry out a fire risk assessment of the premises and review it regularly
- Tell staff about the risks you have identified
- Put appropriate fire safety measures in place & maintain them
- Plan for an emergency
- Provide staff with information, fire safety instructions and training.
As the responsible person you must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. This assessment will identify what you need to do to prevent fire, mitigate the effects of a fire and keep employees and other people safe.
You must keep a written record of your fire risk assessment if your organisation has 5 or more people.
