In order to lessen the risk of fire and to protect the public, an Order, effective from the 1st October 2006, was passed making it a requirement that all non-domestic premises in England and Wales undergo a fire risk assessment.
This requirement applies to buildings rented or owned by employers and contractors (who have some control over the building), as well as charities, churches, community centres, volunteer groups and clubs.
The October 2006 Order places a 'duty of care' on the responsible person to complete a fire risk assessment of their premises. This person may be the owner of the building or, in the case of a club or community centre, a body or committee of persons.
A building's fire risk assessment will normally focus on the following:
