The amended Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997, which
came into force at the beginning of December 1999, have major
implications for businesses. Employers are now responsible for fire
safety and are required to carry out a full fire risk assessment, even
if the workplace is covered by a fire certificate.
What do you have to do?
-
Fire safety law now
holds you, the employer, responsible for carrying out a fire risk
assessment and recording the findings if you have five or more staff
-
You must keep your
risk assessment up to date and progressively change it as the size
and risks in your building/business change
-
You must make sure
your staff are trained in evacuation and the use of the fire
fighting equipment in your business.
