Fire Risk Assessments Milton Keynes Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment in Milton Keynes?
In England most premises need a fire risk assessment. The question remains whether that duty lies with you.
Non-Domestic Premises Generally
Most premises need a Fire Risk Assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This Order applies to most non-domestic premises, i.e. those that are not single private dwellings.
Employers and Responsible Persons
This is the case for employers of staff who work from premises other than their home, and those who are responsible for premises where no employer exists (e.g. managing agents and freeholders).
Commercial Landlords
Even if you let a commercial property, responsibility for the fire risk assessment for the common parts of a property such as stairwells and entrance halls and gardens (external) would rest with you as the landlord, not with the tenant.
HMOs and Converted Buildings
This would include HMOs and Converted houses, such as a semi detached house with shared stairs and /or hallways. Flats within a house or block of houses would not require an assessment.
Places of Public Assembly
A fire risk assessment is required for pubs, churches, clubs, shops, schools, offices, storage depots, and many other types of premises. This applies regardless of size, unless covered by another’s assessment, and of opening hours.
Change of Use or Occupancy
When a building is changed from one use to another or the number of occupants has significantly increased, an existing fire risk assessment must be reviewed. You must note any recent changes and update the fire risk assessment as necessary.
