Fire risk assessments

Under the fire reform order, is there still a requirement to undertake a fire risk assessment for an unoccupied building if the building is subcontracted and there is security present? If yes, is the responsibility transferred to the guarding company as sole occupiers?

Re: Fire risk assessments

While there are persons present in the premises, there should be an up-to-date risk assessment in place.

There is a joint responsibility − for the owner to inform the occupier/suppliers of the services of the physical arrangements in place for safe evacuation, and for the occupier to perform a risk assessment to ensure the safety of its operations and staff.

Both fire risk assessments and/or relevant risk assessments should be shared with each other to ensure conformity and compliance.
