Why fire risk assessments matter
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every organisation should carry out a fire risk assessment and keep it up to date. This can be challenging, and common issues include:
- Lack of inhouse expertise to carry out and document assessments
- Outdated assessments that don’t reflect current premises or activities
- Limited awareness of responsibilities as the “responsible person”
- Difficulty prioritising actions or budgeting for improvements
- Pressure from insurers, landlords or clients to evidence compliance
impact HR helps employers cut through the complexity with clear, practical advice—ensuring risks are properly managed and compliance is assured.
