Fire Risk Assessment Requirements for Weston-super-Mare Premises
Avon Fire & Rescue Service provides business fire safety guidance for premises across North Somerset, including Weston-super-Mare.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person has duties for fire safety in relevant non-domestic premises. Avon Fire & Rescue Service states that this can include an employer, owner, landlord, occupier or another person with control of the premises.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service advises that a fire risk assessment is required for each premises for which the Responsible Person has responsibility. The findings must be recorded, and the assessment should be updated annually or when significant changes affect the fire risk.
The service also explains that written fire risk assessments and fire safety arrangements have been subject to enhanced recording requirements since 1 October 2023. A competent or qualified person should be considered where professional assistance is required.
Fire Risks Can Differ Between Local Building Types
The appropriate scope of a fire risk assessment depends on the actual premises, how it is used and the people who may be affected.
Seafront and Visitor Premises
Hotels, guest accommodation, restaurants, entertainment venues and other visitor premises can have changing occupancy levels, sleeping accommodation, public areas and multiple escape routes that need to be considered.
Shops and Town Centre Businesses
Retail units and town centre premises may have customer areas, storage spaces, staff areas and delivery arrangements. Fire loading, escape routes, housekeeping and security measures should reflect the actual premises.
HMOs and Residential Buildings
Shared accommodation and blocks of flats can require careful consideration of means of escape, fire detection, warning arrangements, fire doors, communal areas and the needs of residents who may require assistance.
Industrial and Commercial Premises
Workshops, warehouses and industrial units may contain machinery, storage, combustible materials, charging equipment or other hazards. The assessment should consider the activities taking place and the arrangements for evacuation.
