When it comes to fire safety, prevention is always better than cure. A comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment is not just a legal requirement – it’s a crucial step in safeguarding lives and property. At Oakpark Group, we specialise in conducting thorough fire risk assessments to help businesses and property owners minimise fire risks and ensure compliance with UK regulations.
Here’s why fire risk assessments are essential and how Oakpark Group can help.
Why Are Fire Risk Assessments Important?
1. Legal Compliance
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all non-domestic premises in England and Wales must have a current fire risk assessment. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines or even prosecution.
2. Protecting Lives
A fire risk assessment identifies potential hazards and ensures that safety measures, such as fire exits and alarms, are in place and fully functional. This is vital for protecting the lives of employees, customers, and visitors.
3. Reducing Damage to Property
By identifying fire risks early, you can implement measures to prevent fires or reduce their impact, safeguarding your property and assets.
4. Insurance Requirements
Most insurance policies require proof of a valid fire risk assessment. Without one, you may face difficulties when making claims.
