Fire Legislation

The Fire Precautions (workplace) Regulations ( Northern Ireland) 2001, simply means that it is incumbent on all employers to assess the risk of a fire occurring in their premises, and the effect it would have on all staff, visitors or contractors.

For all companies with 5 or more employees a written fire risk assessment must be completed by a competent individual, kept on the premises, and acted upon should any risks be identified.

The onus will be with the employer and staff, who have a duty to ensure that the workplace is safe from fire and its effects, and not to do anything that will place themselves or other people at risk.

The Fire Brigade's role will be to inspect premises, and to ensure that a fire risk assessment has been completed and acted on appropriately. If a fire risk assessment cannot be produced the employer may be liable to prosecution under criminal law.

If you have any questions about what legislation applies to you, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
