Fire Risk Assessments Wigan
As a business or commercial property owner in Wigan, you’re expected to keep your site properly safeguarded against fire hazards by arranging routine fire risk assessments.
If you’d like support with carrying out an assessment, or you already have one that needs revisiting, the team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can step in and handle the full range of fire safety compliance tasks.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Yes, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every business must carry out fire risk assessments. This applies to a wide range of premises, including schools, warehouses, factories, licensed venues, care homes and many other buildings that aren’t single private homes.
The ‘responsible person’ – whether that’s you as the owner, the employer, or whoever has control of the premises – is legally expected to take sensible fire safety steps that are likely to lower the chances of death, injury, or damage caused by a fire. Other people, such as qualified external specialists, may support with certain parts of the process, but the legal responsibility remains with the designated responsible person.
