A fire risk assessment plays a fundamental part in any fire safety plan and is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 so it’s wise to make this one of your first steps.
This will help you recognise any potential issues and develop an emergency plan to determine what should happen in the event that a fire breaks out in your store. It will identify any hazards which need to be removed and any risks which need to be reduced. When you have had a fire risk assessment carried out it must be suitable and sufficient and will highlight crucial actions required if a fire within the retail premises occurs.
Fire Risk Consultancy Services can provide a fully-qualified and highly-experienced fire risk assessor so the risk of fire will be correctly identified, minimised and a plan put in place.
