A fire risk assessment helps you to understand the risks of fire on your premises. It is designed to be a thorough assessment to enable you to determine the potential risks, and manage suitable precautions, so that you can keep your building and the people in it safe from fire.
If you own or are responsible for a building that is not ‘a single private dwelling’ (a private home) then you have a legal and moral duty to ensure that a fire risk assessment is conducted for your premises. You need to make sure that an appropriately competent person completes the fire risk assessment.
