To help those responsible for safety (Responsible Persons), the Government has created specific guidance for various sectors. This guidance offers detailed information about Fire Risk Assessment and other essential aspects to meet legal requirements. If you’re considering hiring a professional risk assessor, we highly recommend consulting the Fire Sector Federation’s Guide to Choosing a Competent Fire Risk Assessor.
