Unit 9 - Fire Risk Assessment - Responsibilities & Procedures
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 has placed the requirement for fire safety in to the hands of the owner, manager or employer of non domestic premises; they are deemed to be the Responsible Person and have a duty to produce a fire risk assessment.
Fire risk assessments can be produced by a professional risk assessor but they must include involvement from the Responsible Person. In fact the person in the best position to produce the fire risk assessment is often the Responsible Person.
This course will provide your delegate with the knowledge and understanding of the Fire Safety Order, the necessary requirements for risk assessment in order to provide advice on the responsibilities and the recommended five steps to completion of a risk assessment. This course will also benefit fire alarm professionals when advising customers of their legal responsibilities.
