New fire safety rules affecting all non-domestic premises in England and Wales came into force on 1 October 2006.
A fire risk assessment helps you to identify all the fire risks and hazards in your premises. You can then decide to do something to control them.
Now question arises who do the risk assessment for me?

Risk assessment is to be done by a person who has had sufficient training and has good knowledge and experience of fire safety.
If you manage, own or you are the responsible person for shops, offices, factories, hotels, hospitals, care homes and so on, you must complete a seperate fire risk assessment for each building. In fact the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations cover all premises that people have access to except for single domestic premises.
