Fire Risk Assessments

The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (2005)

At Bibby Consulting & Support, we understand just how devastating fire can be; not only the impact this can have on the running of the business but the worst possible scenario of lives being lost.

40% of businesses never recover from the effects of a major fire with the loss of key staff due to temporary closure.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 now requires you to manage the risk of fire in your organisation; but do you really know what is expected of you?

Under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 there is now a legally designated ‘responsible person’ who must arrange for a Fire Risk Assessment to be undertaken. The “responsible person” is someone who has control, or a degree of control, over premises or fire-prevention systems within premises.

The ‘competent person’ is explained in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 as being a person who has sufficient training and experience or knowledge to be able to undertake a fire risk assessment. Only a suitably ‘competent person’ should attempt to complete a Fire Risk Assessment. In essence, very few employers have the competence in-house to complete a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment.

Bibby Consulting & Support's Fire Risk Assessment Package

Bibby Consulting & Support’s Fire Risk Assessment service provides a way for companies to discharge their duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This ensures that the fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person.

A nominated consultant trained in the theory and practice of Fire Risk Assessment carries out the Fire Risk Assessment at the client’s premises. A report is submitted to the client including a % compliance score and a risk-based prioritised action plan
