THE FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

The “Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005“demands that the “Responsible Person” completes a “Suitable and Sufficient” Fire Risk Assessment of non-domestic properties. This would normally be the owner or the employer or could be any other person who has control over any part of the property. e.g. Leaseholder or Manager.
