Fire Risk Assessments
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) came into effect in October 2006 and replaced over 70 pieces of fire safety law.
The FSO applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including the common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs). The law applies to you if you are:
- Responsible for business premises
- An employer or self-employed with business premises
- Responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
- A charity or vountary organization
- A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
- Providing accommodation for paying guests
Under the FSO, the responsible person must ensure that a fire safety risk assessment is undertaken and implemented, and they must maintain a fire management plan.
Lawton Solutions can assist with these assessments or carry them out on your behalf.
Businesses in need of fire risk assessments may also require health and safety policies, a health and safety manual, and Portable Appliance Testing. Lawton Solutions is able to undertake these on your behalf, or advise in order to achieve legal compliance.
Please contact us for an informal discussion on how Lawton Solutions can help your organization, or to arrange an initial consultation.
