When do you need a Fire Safety and Risk Assessment?
Each year people die or are seriously injured as a result of fires at work. Besides loss of life, fire costs UK business millions of pounds, from damage to property, loss of business, fines, compensation claims and insurance premiums. Fire safety legislation applies to all commercial premises and other buildings to which the public have access. It does not apply to private residential premises. Typically the employer, owner or occupier of the premises is responsible for fire safety. In law, they are known as the 'responsible person'. All workplaces, commercial premises and other buildings to which the public have access must have a fire safety risk assessment carried out. The responsible person must carry out or arrange for a risk assessment of the premises. They must also implement and maintain appropriate and adequate fire safety measures to minimise the risk to life from fire.
Further information is available on the government website:

The law is different in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Please go to the following websites for details: www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Justice/public-safety/fire-and-rescue-service...
Who can carry out a Fire Risk Assessment?
If you are the responsible person you must make sure that fire risks are removed, reduced or managed to an acceptable level to reasonably protect lives. You must also ensure that everyone who may be in, or in the vicinity of, your premises can escape if there is a fire. You can appoint someone other than yourself - known as a 'competent person' - to carry out the risk assessment for you, but in law you remain responsible for complying with fire safety legislation. In smaller and less complex premises you may be able to carry out the risk assessment yourself but you may need to get more complex premises assessed by a person who has comprehensive training or experience in fire risk assessment.
