Wessex Fire and Rescue Service are able to offer Fire Risk Assessments by a competent fire officer. The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 came in to force in October 2006. The order applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales including the common parts of blocks of flats or houses in multiple occupations.
The law applies to you if you are:
Under the order the "responsible person" must carry out a fire risk assessment and implement and maintain a Fire Management Plan. Our officers can manage the Fire Risk Assessments and plans for your business. The cost of this does depend on your nature of business and size of building, but a ball park figure for the "average" business is £250.
So what does a Fire Risk Assessment involve?
