The law requires that fire doors in commercial properties must be inspected at least every six months. Failure to comply not only puts your property and occupants at risk but also leaves you vulnerable to legal penalties. At CFP, we can help.
Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) are legally required for commercial buildings and are not a one-off exercise. Changes to a commercial building’s layout, use, and even fixtures and fittings can cause an existing FRA to become outdated and non-compliant.
Since October 2023, we’ve seen a raft of changes and improvements to fire safety legislation, and if you’re a commercial building owner or manager you absolutely need to be on top of them – and take corrective action if necessary to ensure your building remains compliant.
The law is pretty strict when it comes to Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs). If you own or are responsible for a non-domestic or commercial building, that building must have a recent, valid FRA that has been passed as compliant by an individual competent in the fire safety field.
