Fire Risk Assessments have an important role to play in any Bucks-based business. Regular assessments ensure your company complies with current UK fire safety legislation, safeguarding your employees and visitors, and protecting your property against potential fire risks. It is your responsibility to ensure that Fire Risk Assessments in Buckinghamshire are carried out for your property. If your premises do not have a current assessment, you are at risk of serious legal consequences.
Fire safety liability for your Buckinghamshire business falls to the person who is legally referred to as the ‘responsible person’. You are classed as the ‘responsible person’ if you are: the employer, the owner, the landlord, the occupier or anyone else with control of the premises, for example a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor. If there is more than one ‘responsible person’ they must work together to meet the requirements.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the associated Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, it is the legal duty of the ‘responsible person’ to implement and maintain a fire management plan for each property, including:
Failure to implement a comprehensive plan including all of the above could result in a fine, imprisonment, or both.

A Fire Risk Assessment has five main steps:
Here at AGF Fire Protection we are proud that our fire risk assessments provide a comprehensive and in depth analysis of all the fire risks within your building. We spend time on your site, reviewing your current fire safety procedures and company practices and carry out a structured and systematic examination of all areas of Fire Safety within your workplace taking into consideration all requirements of the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (2005) and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the associated Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
This thorough process then culminates in our production of a Fire Risk Assessment working document including photographic evidence, plan of action and detailed feedback and support.

The time it will take to carry out a fire risk assessment depends entirely on the size and complexities of your building and your business. Timescales can range from half a day on site, to several days or weeks. Please feel free to contact us for us and our friendly team can help give you a better idea of timescales based on your specific premises.
There is no special preparation for a Fire Risk Assessment visit, the assessor is there to help you and your business and needs to see the premises and business as it is on a day to day basis. It will help us if you have to hand all your company Fire Safety documents, including the recent maintenance reports for any fire safety services within your building and any previous fire risk assessments.
