Ensure Up-to-Date Fire Safety of Manchester Pubs, Clubs, Bars & Restaurants

Manchester Pubs, Clubs, Bars and Restaurants summer is approaching and the crowds will arrive! Your responsibility is to keep your customers safe from Fire, so check that your Fire Safety Risk Assessment is up to date!


Getting ready for the summer season is hectic, but one important thing that should be on top of your job list is checking that the Fire Safety Assessment for your premise is up to date.

Fire risks increase when there are crowds, alcohol, patio heaters and candles – just one slight knock and the inevitable happens. So, the identified ‘Responsible Person’ or ‘Duty Holders’ must make it a priority to check that all the Fire Safety Actions identified in their Fire Risk Assessment, are completed and that their Staff are all up to date with their Fire Marshal Training.

Manchester 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 customers safe.

Every Manchester Pub, Club, Bar and Restaurant must have a Fire Risk Assessment for their premise – it’s the law. If you haven’t got one or your Fire Risk Assessment has expired, then there is still time to book a Fire Safety Inspection and Audit with an accredited Fire Risk Assessor.

With the recent changes to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 amended 2022 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’ or ‘Duty Holder’ 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.
