Does the new law apply to me?

  • Shops & Offices
  • Licensed Premises
  • Hotels and Boarding Houses
  • Residential Care
  • Public Entertainment Venues
  • Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMOs)

Yes - the new law applies to EVERY business, and places a duty of care on the Employer, Occupier, or Owner as the Responsible Person to appoint a Competent Person to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment of the premises. It also applies to multiple occupancy sleeping accommodation, places of assembly and educational establishments.

What if I have no-one suitable or available within my business - or I just don't have the time to deal with this?

The new law recognises the fact that many small and medium sized businesses do not have the resources in time or money to have an employee committed to this work and therefore allows for the use of professional, external assistance to complete the Fire Risk Assessment.

Will I be fully covered under the new law if I have a Fire Risk Assessment done?

Yes - We will supply a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment Report, which you will be able to use to demonstrate that you comply.
