Current UK legislation requires most businesses to undertake a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales. The
assessment needs to be handled by a competent person and it’s the responsibility of the employer to ensure that this happens.
In addition, if your company has 5 employees or more then you’ll need to put together a written FRA. If you don’t have internal competencies in fire risk assessments and the processes that you need to follow you can outsource the task to Blue Square Safety.
