Fire Risk Assessments
Why do you need a Fire Risk Assessment in the workplace?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement and is needed to meet The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
If you are responsible for a building, for example;
- Employer

You need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment, which is where we can support you.
