Fire Safety Guidance
To assist responsible persons, the Government has produced sector-specific guidance which provides detailed information on the Fire Risk Assessment and other issues which must be addressed to comply with the requirements of the legislation.
Should you wish to employ the services of a professional risk assessor we would strongly recommend that you refer to the Fire Sector Federation’s Guide to Choosing a Competent Fire Risk Assessor.
