Fire Risk Assessment
18/3/2009
According to a survey carried out by Norwich union, a third of firms failed to carry out fire risk assessments.
The research found that 38% of businesses were unaware of the requirements of the Regulatory Reform Order, and that more than a third had failed to carry out a fire risk assessment. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO), a "responsible person" from a business must carry out a fire risk assessment.
According to the ABI (Association of British Insurers) businesses managing through the recession are being hit hard by an increasing fire cost threat - and by failing to comply with legislations regarding fire risk assessments - are more inclined to suffer in the long term.
