Radical & Controversial, Fire Risk Assessment.

Fire Risk Assessments and the Fire Officer
Enter your email for our Free Fire Risk Assessment Procedure,
To give you an idea of how radical and according to some people controversial,
(Bed and Breakfast Association Under The heading, New Fire Precautions Regime.)
the changes are, I entered in our F.R.A. (Fire Risk Assessment) that our staff had been trained in what to do in the event of a fire. You may think when the fire officer came to review the F.R.A. he would of asked a member of the staff if that was the case.
No! Not a tall, he didn’t’ have to because I had entered it in my Fire Risk Assessment.
The new laws divert responsibility,
for the up keep of fire protection in the building away from the fire officer and into the hands of the owner or as I mentioned in my last post;
The official quote,
“Fire Risk Assessments must be carried out by the owner of the building or by any person that has some level of control in the premises, taking reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and make sure people can safely escape if there is a fire”.
The Fire Officers main concern is that you have a Fire Risk Assessment, be it just a slip of paper, not what’s on it but the fact that you have produce one when asked for it.
What go’s in it is your responability, the Fire Officer is there to give you advice but he will not tell you what to put in your F.R.A. with our Free Fire Risk Assessment Procedure, you will be able to create your own Fire Risk Assessment.
