What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is an inspection of the fire safety of a building. The assessment provides actions and recommendations to enhance the building's safety. If you employ fewer than five people, documentation is not mandatory; however, it is good practice to document it to help implement or update fire safety measures.
Who is Responsible for Conducting a Fire Risk Assessment?
According to the fire safety order, there must be a designated Responsible Person who oversees the building's fire safety. The Responsible Person ensures that all fire safety tasks are completed and necessary actions are taken to prevent fires. Therefore, the Responsible Person is the individual who must ensure that a valid fire risk assessment is conducted for the building.
