The Critical Role of Fire Risk Assessments in Commercial Properties
In commercial settings, fire risk assessments are crucial for identifying hazards inherent in manufacturing processes, storage of materials, and the use of heavy machinery. These assessments are key to preventing fires and ensuring a swift, safe response should an incident occur.
Your Legal Obligations for Fire Safety in Commercial Settings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, operators of commercial properties in the UK must ensure robust fire safety management. This includes conducting thorough fire risk assessments, implementing and maintaining appropriate fire safety measures, and regularly reviewing and updating these measures.
