Fire Risk Assessments Birkenhead
Fire risk assessments are a key part of helping to protect you, anyone on your premises, and the building itself from the potential risks linked to fire.
If you are based in or around the Birkenhead area, our team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can assist with completing thorough fire risk assessments and putting in place practical measures that suit the needs of your business.
Are Fire Risk Assessments In Birkenhead A Legal Requirement?
Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for all businesses under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Examples of workplaces and organisations that must have a fire risk assessment in place include:
- Schools
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Care homes
- And many other non-single occupancy properties
As a business owner, you are legally classed as the “responsible person”. This means you are expected to take suitable steps to minimise the risk of injury, loss of life, or damage that could result from a fire.
Although you can appoint a competent individual, whether that’s a trained member of staff or an external specialist, to handle specific duties such as carrying out a fire risk assessment, the overall legal responsibility to do this remains with you.
