How often should a fire risk assessment be undertaken?
Updated: 5 days ago
The Regulatory Reform Order mandates the responsible person of any non-domestic premises to conduct a fire risk assessment, including steps to minimise or eliminate the danger of fire and identify those at risk, beginningon October 1, 2006.
Although the legislation does not specify a specific frequency for completing a fire risk assessment, Article 9, (3) of The Regulatory Reform Order stipulates that it must be maintained up to date and repeated if there has been a significant change in the environment.
Every firm should invest in effective fire risk assessment procedures to keep its employees and customers safe. METRO PAT FM LTD would always advocate carrying out fire risk assessments yearly to keep your company secure, even though most changes in the workplace may seem modest.
