Fire Risk Assessments Cambridge

As a business or property owner, it is your legal responsibility to ensure Fire Risk Assessments are carried out in your Cambridge business. Fire risk assessments make sure your premises are safe for staff members, customers and visitors alike. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, also known as the RRO, is the law governing Fire Risk Assessments across Cambridge and the South East.

Legal responsibility for Fire Risk Assessments Cambridge

You must appoint a ‘responsible person’ to take responsibility for all aspects of fire safety, including Fire Risk Assessments. A ‘responsible person’ can be an employer, owner, landlord or occupier. Other people who work within a business can also be the ‘responsible person’, such as a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor. Most businesses will appoint more than one ‘responsible person’ and they will work together to ensure that all your business’s legal responsibilities are met.

Under the RRO, the ‘responsible person’ (or people) have a duty to implement and maintain a fire management plan. This includes:

• Carrying out a Fire Risk Assessment of your Cambridge premises and reviewing this regularly
• If your business employs five or more people, you must keep a written record of your Fire Risk Assessment
• Informing staff or their representatives about any risks you identify as a result of the Fire Risk Assessment
• Putting appropriate safety measures in place and making sure they are maintained
• Emergency planning
• Ensuring staff have fire safety instruction and training

NB Failure to implement a comprehensive plan that includes all of the above could result in a fine, imprisonment, or both.
