All business premises and blocks of flats must have a Fire Risk Assessment by law, yet not everyone understands this important fire safety measure. At the most basic level, it is a review taken of a building to assess it for fire risk, and to provide recommendations to make it safer if it needs to be.
A Fire Risk Assessment does not have to be written down if there are fewer than 5 regular occupants in a building, However, we would always recommend having the Fire Risk Assessment written down, as this is the simplest way to communicate the findings and to make sure that the recommendations have been carried out.
