If nominated to act on behalf of the Responsible Person and/or their Representative, in regards to Fire Risk Assessment and integral Fire Emergency and Fire Safety Management Plans, henceforth referred to solely as, the Fire Risk Assessment, The Fire Risk Assessment will have due regard to both the nature of the premises/building and the use to which they are put. It is intended to assist the Responsible Person and/or their Representative, in meeting both their own requirements and their legal obligations but does not in itself ensure or confirm compliance. A Fire Risk Assessment endeavours to identify the hazards, risks and control measures associated with the premises/building and to identify the Significant Hazards and the relevant persons at risk from them. The Responsible Person and/or their Representative should ensure that this is achieved.
Fire Safety Inspections/audits for both Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Safety Consultation will be based upon good faith and will refer to areas, items, provisions and systems readily identifiable and available, and upon information provided by the Responsible Person and/or their Representative. The Fire Safety Inspection/audit will be neither intrusive nor invasive and therefore, by necessity, certain assumptions may be made and liability will be confined to specified hazards and risks.
LONDON FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS will only be able to comment and report on the situation and circumstances as witnessed by, and advised to them, at the time of Inspection/audit. Any change could lead to new hazards and risks needing to be considered and no liability rests with, LONDON FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS for their work unless subsequent changes have been subjected to specific and separate assessment.
It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the Responsible Person and/or their Representative to implement any required actions identified by a Fire Risk Assessment or Fire Safety Consultation Report.
The Responsible Person and/or their Representative should note that nothing within a Fire Risk Assessment or Fire Safety Consultation overrides any requirements needed to comply with statutory obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974 and all associated Regulations and approved codes of practice. A Fire Risk Assessment or Fire Safety Consultation Report does not override, where appropriate, the application requirements for Building Control, Local Authority, Licensing and any other consents.
