Compliance with Fire Risk Assessment requirements Sample Clauses

Compliance with Fire Risk Assessment requirements. Since the introduction of the 2005 Regulation Amendment Order (Fire Safety), there is now a requirement to conduct a Fire Risk Assessment on all buildings that serve as a workplace. The purpose of such an assessment is to identify matters that could endanger life or the building itself if a fire broke out and to provide recommendations on how that risk can be lessened. The Council’s Fire Policy is based on these requirements. The Council has completed Fire Risk Assessments on the buildings. Such assessments identify dangers and an Action Plan will then be prepared to deal with the issues highlighted. The action plan identifies work required on the building e.g. up-grade fire doors, new fire alarm etc. The Council will be responsible for the work. The action plan also identifies management issues e.g. the need to conduct regular fire alarm tests, fire door kept open by an item of furniture etc. Resolving these managerial matters will be the school’s responsibility. The fire risk assessment will be repeated in its entirety every three years and the school will receive a copy. The Council holds an annual risk assessment review and sends it to the School. The school has a legal duty to respond to these reviews and return them to the Council having been signed. There is support available to interpret these reports if you so wish – you can contact via the Property Help Desk in the usual manner.
