Know your Legal requirements

Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 (As Amended 1999) require any business with 5 or more employees to carry out a written Risk Assessment and have an Emergency plan.

Failure to undertake and hold a written Risk assessment is a Criminal Offence.

Continued compliance

Fire Alarm Regulations BS5839 require the duty holder to undertake Periodic checks to ensure the functionality of the system. Failure to keep the Fire Alarm System in working order could lead the local Fire Brigade to serve enforcement notices requiring compliance, they also have the authority to close any building which does not meet this act.

All check frequencies have specific requirements. Checks should be recorded where necessary in the Fire Safety Log Book.
