Fire Risk Assessments

Fire Risk Assessments - The Legal Requirement

Under the Fire Risk Assessment Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 all commercial premises require a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) in order to comply with legislation. Where an organisation employees five or more, or the premises has a license, the assessment must be recorded. Failure to have one could result in the responsible person in the company receiving a fine or in extreme circumstances a prison sentence.

In the past, fire safety was the “poor relation” of health & safety but the introduction of the Order has changed maters substantially and the Fire Service have been given new powers and instruction to raise the profile and standards of fire safety in the workplace, and they are doing so.

An FRA is a comprehensive inspection of the workplace, processes and occupiers as well as the policies and procedures to ensure the safety of any person who has a legitimate right to be in or on the premises. It should be noted it is life safety based (considers the people) and not property protection based.
