Fire Risk Assessments

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) came into effect in October 2006 and replaced over 70 pieces of fire safety law.

The FSO applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including the common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs). The law applies to you if you are:

• responsible for business premises
• an employer or self-employed with business premises
• responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
• a charity or voluntary organisation
• a contractor with a degree of control over any premises
• providing accommodation for paying guests

Under the FSO, the responsible person must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan.

FlameSkill employ only trained, and fully insured, personnel to undertake Fire Risk Assessments which are comprehensively documented including recommendations and action plans where appropriate.

Insurance Companies may refuse or limit claims if a Fire Risk Assessment is not in place.
