Fire Risk Assessments
It is compulsory to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment for your business if you employ 5 or more people.
You need to ensure you're aware of the hazards and those at risk. You need to be able to minimise these risks, identify and react to issues. You must record the highlighted issues and form an action plan, plus train your staff. Once this has all been completed you must review your findings regularly.
