Does Your Company Need A Fire Risk Assessment?
Where 5 or more persons are employed, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is quite specific and requires the employer, the person who has control of the premises or the owner, to take measures to reduce the risk of fire.
What are the Risks?
- Reports state that over half of the businesses who experience a serious fire, never fully recover
- Insurance figures indicate that the fire costs businesses in the UK around £800m
- There is a statutory duty with the Fire and Rescue Services to enforce the requirements of the fire safety order
- In addition to the obvious risks, failure to comply could result in prosecution in the event of a fire
- Insurance companies may look closely at the existing fire safety standards which were in place within the building at the time of a fire. Any shortcomings may be considered during a settlement.
