UK firms encouraged to meet fire risk requirements
19/01/2010
UK businesses should consider making use of risk assessors to ensure that they are fulfilling the fire risk requirements that are expected of them, it has been suggested.
According to Andrew Couch from Aviva Risk Management Solutions, firms may be able to improve their fire safety standards by opting for such a measure.
Mr Couch, a health and safety consultant for the organisation, commented: "Failing in the basic responsibilities of completing fire risk assessments means that firms are not only breaking the law but also not managing the hazards on their premises."
He went on to note that action has been taken against a number of firms who have failed to live up to the measures set out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Meanwhile, commercial property owners based in Northern Ireland and other parts of the UK may be keen to note that Aviva has also recently warned people about the problems they may face due to squatters.
