Reputed Fire Safety Risk Assessment Service for Restaurants in London

A Fire in a London Restaurant may have been caused by a pizza oven coming into contact with a wall, which caused a smouldering Fire. The Flats above were not damaged but it does support the need for both premises to have a Fire Safety Risk Assessment.

It is a requirement that both the Restaurant and the Communal Area of the Flats above have a Fire Safety Risk Assessment. As part of the Co-operation and Co-ordination section of the Fire Safety Risk Assessment the Restaurant should consider the Flats Fire Safety Risk Assessment and vice versa.

Compartmentation, integrity and separation is just one of the key things to consider because if a Fire breaks out in one premise it could affect the other. A ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment will consider this plus ignition sources, people at risk, means of escape, detection and alarm and much more.

If you have a London Restaurant or you live in a Flat above a commercial premise and you need a Fire Safety Risk Assessment, then contact London Fire Risk Assessments.

London Fire Risk Assessments obligation to Fire Safety for Ensuring Roll Out Modification

 

Safety Legislation are rolled out across the industry.

 

Fire Safety Act – Addendum - Updated 18 May 2022

 

The Fire Safety Act clarifies the parts of a premises that apply under the Fire Safety Order (FSO).

The FSO applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales. These include multi-occupied residential buildings such as blocks of flats although individual flats are excluded.

Responsibility for complying with the FSO falls on the Responsible Person which may be the freeholder, management company or managing agent depending on local arrangements.

Check if you are a Responsible Person using this self-assessment identification guide.

The new legislation clarifies that where a building contains 2 or more sets of domestic premises, the FSO applies to:

·         the building’s structure and external walls (including windows, balconies, cladding, insulation and fixings) and any common parts

·         all doors between domestic premises and common parts such as flat entrance doors (or any other relevant door)

The Fire Safety Act came into force on 16 May 2022.                                                                                                                          The act clarifies the Fire Safety Order to make it clear that Responsible Persons must consider these parts when conducting fire risk assessments.                                                                                                                                                                             If you contract out this work, you must make sure that those engaged to complete the fire risk assessment include those elements detailed above, as you are responsible for complying with the FSO and liable for any necessary remediation.

As a Responsible Person you are responsible for overseeing the removal or reduction of fire hazards in your building and for implementing reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all residents, those employed to work in the building and visitors to the building.

Fire and rescue authorities can issue enforcement notices if they decide that Responsible Persons or Duty Holders have failed to comply with any provisions of the FSO. They can prosecute or serve alteration or prohibition notices if they identify that failing to comply with those provisions puts people at risk of death or injury from fire.

This guide has been issued under Article 50 of the Fire Safety Order.
