Under the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 and the Fire Precautions (Workplace) (Amendment) Regulations 1999, employers, occupiers and persons in control of premises are required to carry out a risk assessment of fire. Where 5 or more employees are at work, the assessment must be in writing and must identify those at risk.

PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION: To ensure employees and others who visit the premises are given a similar degree of protection as those working in or visiting premises which met the criteria for the need to have a Fire Certificate issued under the Fire Precautions Act 1971, or have received "exemption" for the need to hold such a certificate.

HSAS SUPPORT: We work in close conjunction with clients in carrying out fire risk assessments of their operations. We provide a written report of findings and prepare a proposed action plan covering deficiencies or opportunities for improvement.
