Fire Risk Assessment

 When English Fire safety law changed in October 2006 to the The Regulatory Reform, Fire Safety Order, this had a dramatic impact on Employers Responsibilities.  The impact of this new legislation was to:-

• Put more emphasis’s on preventing fires and reducing risk
• Makes it the employers responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the premises and in  the immediate vicinity
• Does away with the need for fire certificate
• The Order applies to virtually all premises and covers nearly every type of building, structure and open space.

 This means that a responsible employer is now required to carry out or nominate someone to carry out a fire risk assessment identifying the main hazards and risks.
 
 This can be a difficult task which first health and safety’s trained consultants can complete for you.
