Fire Risk Assessment
It is a legal requirement to have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment, many owners get
prosecuted each year for simply not having one. Not having one however is only part of the
story - it likely means the establishment is not prepared for a fire - extensive damage and loss
of many lives is a very real consequence.
A fire risk assessment, fire management plan covering precautions, responsibilities and actions
need to be in place. The Regulatory Reform Order (RRO), sometimes known as the Fire Reform
Order, requires these document as well as staff training. It is important not only for your and
your staffs safety that these are completed competently - you could find yourself on the wrong
side of the law if they are not.
