London Fire Brigade Sends Notice To A Mosque For Not Having A Suitable Fire Safety Risk Assessment

A Mosque in London was issued an Enforcement Notice and then a Prohibition Notice, one of the reasons for this serious action from the London Fire Brigade was that it didn’t have a detailed, ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment.




London Churches, Mosques, Synagogues all religious centres should have a Fire Risk Assessment to ensure people intending to worship are as safe as possible from Fire.

The identified ‘Responsible Person’ must ensure that the Fire Detection and Alarm, Extinguishers, Fire Separation and Means of Escape, to name just a few, are sufficient for the size and type of premise and that the capacity is also correct.

This highlights that the cheap, check box Risk Assessments advertised on the internet may not be adequate and a more sensibly priced, detailed report may be more cost effective – after all this is a document required by law!
