What are your legal responsibilities ?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is a crucial piece of legislation that primarily targets multi-occupancy buildings and properties with multiple floors. This law requires these types of buildings to complete an initial fire risk assessment and to keep these evaluations consistently updated over time.
However, the regulation leaves some uncertainty by not clearly defining what qualifies as ‘regular’ updates, making it difficult to establish a precise schedule for reassessments.
From our professional standpoint, conducting a fire risk assessment once a year is advisable. This recommendation is based on the understanding that buildings can experience various changes throughout the year, increasing the need to proactively address emerging safety risks. If lots of changes are made though, we’d recommend increasing this to two fire risk assessments per year.
Furthermore, the legislation appoints a ‘Responsible Person’ (RP) who is tasked with managing fire risk assessments, organising fire drills, and providing support to occupants during emergencies. We can provide more information on this part if you wish to find out more.
Fire Risk Assessments Oldham - Key Points
See below, our fire risk assessment process in Oldham:
Recognise Fire Hazards – The first step is understanding the potential fire risks within your building. Using our expertise, we will thoroughly identify all hazards, ensuring you’re fully informed. While some dangers are easy to spot, others may be less obvious, so it’s crucial to highlight every risk clearly and efficiently.
Identify Individuals at Risk – Once we’ve assessed the hazards, it’s vital to determine who could be affected. From there, we can either relocate vulnerable individuals or develop a strategy to safeguard them in the event of a fire. At the bare minimum, making people aware of their surroundings fosters a proactive and safety-first environment.
Assess, Eliminate, and Safeguard Against Risks – This stage involves taking concrete action. After analysing the situation, we’ll implement safety measures. Whether through new procedures, equipment installations, or updated safety protocols we will minimise fire hazards.
Document, Strategise, Communicate, and Train (if required) – We’ll provide comprehensive documentation detailing all findings and actions taken. This serves as official proof of a professional fire risk assessment, which can be presented to local authorities if required. Additionally, we offer fire safety training for staff when necessary to ensure everyone is prepared.
Ongoing Reviews & Support – To keep your fire safety up to date, we offer automated annual reminders for further assessments, ensuring you never miss an update. Many of our clients in Oldham and nearby opt for this service due to its convenience.
