Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments are mandatory in the UK for the communal areas of rented properties. The regulations require the “duty holder" to ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is undertaken. For businesses employing five or more people, significant findings must be recorded.
A fire risk assessment identifies existing risks, and the resulting safety measures must be communicated to employees and anyone else who may be affected. Emergency plans must be in place, and staff must receive fire safety instruction and training.
Local fire and rescue authorities inspect premises to ensure compliance. Officers can issue notices requiring changes to improve standards; failure to comply can result in fines or imprisonment.
