Fire Risk Assessments
Most workplaces are required to carry out fire risk assessments by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations. The fire risk assessment will help you determine the chances of a fire occurring and the dangers from fire to your staff or anyone else who visits your workplace.
The primary emphasis of the fire regulations is to protect life. But what businesses must consider is that fires cost money and the costs of a serious fire can be very high. In fact, many businesses fail to reopen and of those that do, 90% fail within the first 12 months.
