Fire Risk Assessment

Do you need a fire risk assessment in Yorkshire?


Do I Need a Fire RA?

Did you know that under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the associated Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the responsible person/duty holder must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan?

In other words, you must assess the risk of a fire starting, eliminate or reduce the chances of a fire starting and have a plan in place in case a fire does start.

 

The law applies to you if you are:

  • A landlord responsible for business premises  

  • An employer or self-employed with business premises  

  • A charity or voluntary organisation with employees/volunteers  

  • A contractor with a degree of control over any premises  

  • Premises providing accommodation  or paying guests  - hotels/B&Bs/holiday cottages  

  • A residential property with any communal/shared area  

  • Landlord of a House of  Multiple  Occupancy (HMO)  

  • Any premises which is open to the public/consumers - restaurants/retail units/pubs/gyms  

  • Educational buildings - schools/universities/nurseries 

  • Medical facilities - care homes/doctors/dentists

Are you breaking the Law?

Unfortunately, assessments are often overlooked, which can lead to buildings being exposed unnecessarily to fire risk, sometimes with the potential for loss of life. 

Failure to carry out your duties in accordance with The Regulatory Fire Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005 could result in prosecution.  The penalty for not having a Fire Risk Assessment and, in particular, not having implemented the correct fire safety precautions, is prosecution resulting in severe fines, or in cases of extreme negligence, a prison sentence.  So, ensure you’re not breaking the law and contact us book your fire risk assessment in Yorkshire with us today.
