From 1st October 2006 The Regulatory Reform Order requires the responsible person of any non domestic premises to carry out a fire risk assessment, including measures to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk.
A Fire risk assessment is an inspection of a building with communal areas. The purpose of a FRA is to identify what the potential risks are, and then take necessary actions to keep you safe.
Fire risk assessment needs to be carried out by a competent person and are required to be carried out by a professional every 3 to 4 years.
