How can an FCS Berkshire and North Hampshire Fire Risk Assessment help?
Your local Fire and Rescue Service enforce the The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 unless the premises are the responsibility of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) due to licensing for dangerous substances etc, naval ships or a construction site. At any reasonable time an inspector may enter and inspect your premises, make enquiries about any matter, check your documentation and records, identify the responsible person, take samples and extracts of documents or undertake any other task deemed necessary. They no longer issue Fire Certificates and will not carry out the required Fire Risk Assessment for you. Here at FCS Berkshire and North Hampshire we can help you to comply with this order so please don't hesitate to contact us.
What is an Alterations notice?
If a Fire Authority believes that fire safety may be compromised if premises are altered they may serve an Alterations Notice on the responsible person requiring them to inform the Authority of the pending alteration.
What is an Enforcement notice?
The local Fire Authority can serve an Enforcement notice on the responsible person if they are of the opinion that the responsible person is failing to comply with the The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
An Enforcement notice must state what is wrong with your premises or Fire Safety procedures and must state the steps that the person must take to comply with the Notice. A period of not less than 28 days must be given for the carrying out of works.
What is a Prohibition notice?
If the Fire Authority believes that the use of the premises constitutes a risk to persons so serious that the use of the premises or to continue with an activity ought to be prohibited or restricted they can serve a Prohibition notice.
A Prohibition Notice takes effect immediately it is served if the risk to safety is considered to be imminent, otherwise the Notice can be deferred. If the Notice is not deferred then the Prohibition Notice can halt all activity from those premises immediately. This can have a disastrous effect on your business.
What is an Offence?
The responsible person commits an offence if he/she fails to comply with the duties imposed by the Order. Offences are prosecutable in the Magistrates Court or the Crown Court. Fines and or terms of imprisonment can be imposed.
