Fire Risk Assessments Formby
Fire risk assessments play an important role in helping to protect you, anyone on your premises, and your property from the risks associated with fire.
If you are based in or around the Formby area, our team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can support you with carrying out a thorough fire risk assessment and introducing practical measures that are suited to the specific needs of your business.
Are fire risk assessments 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 considered the “responsible person” under the law. This means you are expected to take appropriate steps to reduce the risk of death, injury, or damage that could arise in the event of a fire. Although you can appoint a competent person, whether from within your team or an external specialist, to assist with tasks such as carrying out a fire risk assessment, the overall legal responsibility still sits with you.
