Why
You Must Have A Fire Risk Assessment
Having
a Fire Risk Assessment is not an option it is the Law.
It
is likely you will be uninsured if you do not meet the new requirements.
The
Fire Brigade will not carry out your Fire Risk Assessment, but
they can ask to see it.
A
Fire Certificate is obsolete.
Employers
have a responsibility for the health and safety of employees
and visitors and the safety precautions within their premises.
The
employer or 'Responsible Person' has to provide evidence that
the safety of all employees has been catered for in the event
of fire, using what the new regulations refer to as a "file
of evidence".
Ignorance
of the new regulations is no defence.
