A Fire in the Electrical intake room in a Pub in Enfield highlights the importance of ensuring the Electrical intake is regularly serviced and maintained and has an up to date BS7671 Certificate.
Electrics are one of
the main ignition sources in a commercial premise, so it is imperative that
they are regularly serviced and maintained. A 5-year BS7671 certificate should
be in place and issued by a qualified electrician.
It is the
responsibility of the identified ‘Responsible Person’ or ‘Duty Holder’ to ensue
that the Electrics are tested. Any deficiencies should be picked up and included
in a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Risk Assessment.
London
Pubs, Restaurants Night Clubs and Entertainment Venues not only
have a Responsibility to keep their Staff and Building safe from Fire, but most
importantly they must keep their Public safe.
With the recent changes
to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (As Amended) introduced
by the Fire Safety Act, it is now the responsibility for the identified ‘Responsible
Person’ or ‘Duty Holder’ to ensure that the Fire Safety Risk Assessment is ‘suitable
and sufficient’. If the ‘Responsible Person’ decides to appoint a Company or a
Fire Risk Assessor they must have proven competency in Fire Risk Assessments
and be on an Accredited Register of Risk Assessors.
If you are a London
Pub, Restaurant, Night Club or Entertainment Venue and require a Fire Safety
Inspection and Audit of your premise then contact London Fire Risk Assessments.
