Who Must Carry Out A Fire Risk Assessment?
Employers (and/or building owners or occupiers) must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and keep it up to date.
Based on the findings of the assessment, employers need to ensure that adequate and appropriate fire safety measures are in place to minimise the risk of injury or loss of life in the event of a fire.
You are responsible for fire safety in business or other non-domestic premises if you are:
Or anyone else with control of the premises, for example a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor.
You’re known as the ‘responsible person’. If there’s more than one responsible person, you have to work together to meet your responsibilities.
