Your Fire Safety Legal Obligations
As an employer, business owner, landlord, or occupier of non-domestic premises, you are legally obligated to protect the fire safety of all individuals on your property, including employees, customers, and visitors.
It is crucial that a Fire Risk Assessment is carried out by a competent professional to thoroughly examine your premises and surrounding areas. To ensure full compliance and safety, it is advisable to employ the services of qualified Fire Risk Assessors, such as those at Avisec. Our specialists will guarantee that all fire hazards are identified and addressed properly.
Neglecting to engage a qualified assessor could leave your premises unsafe, with unmanaged fire risks and undetected hazards. Failure to comply with fire safety regulations may result in fines and enforcement actions from the UK Government.
Understanding Fire Safety Regulations
In England and Wales, all non-domestic premises must follow the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. In Scotland, fire safety is regulated by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and in Northern Ireland, by the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
The person responsible for fire safety, called the “Responsible Person” in England and Wales and the “Duty Holder” in Scotland and Northern Ireland, is usually the employer, owner, or landlord. This person is legally required to conduct regular fire risk assessments, develop an emergency plan, and eliminate fire hazards.
By hiring a qualified Fire Risk Assessor from Avisec, you can ensure that your premises are properly assessed and receive expert guidance to meet all fire safety regulations.
Avisec ensures you meet all fire safety obligations and stay fully compliant with current legislation. With our expertise, you can focus on your business, knowing that we will protect your employees, customers, and assets from fire risks.
