Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Legislation

On 1st October 2006 new fire safety regulations came into force.  The Fire Service no longer issues Fire Certificates and the responsibility for maintaining fire safety in the workplace has shifted to employers and owners of premises.  It is now incumbent on employers to liaise with the fire authorities on the appropriate systems to manage fire risks and provide for emergencies.

All businesses and the self-employed are affected by the new legislation and all areas of the business must be assessed.  If there are more than 5 employees, a written fire risk assessment is mandatory.

New Responsibilities

To comply with the new legislation, you will need to designate a 'responsible person' to manage fire safety on the premises.

Responsibilities include:

• The production of a full assessment of fire risk in the workplace
• The need to ensure that fires can be detected and that employees are given adequate warning to leave the building in time
• The need to ensure that there is a safe exit from the premises
• The provision and maintenance of fire fighting equipment
• Adequate and effective fire safety training for employees
