It is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to have a fire risk assessment completed. Therefore, if you require a fire risk assessment for your commercial premises or within the communal areas of flats, it is illegal to not have completed a fire risk assessment in the eyes of the law.
Many responsible people put off carrying out a fire risk assessment because they think it entails too much work and they don’t want to pay for the resulting work. However, what they fail to realise is that the cost of not having one completed can be huge in form of a fine or even too people’s lives.
By ensuring you have a fire risk assessment completed, you can stay on the right side of the law, make sure that you are protecting the occupants of your building and staying in compliance with your local Fire and Rescue service.
