Why Business Properties in Leeds Need a Fire Risk Assessment
Leeds is a major commercial hub with thousands of offices, retail units, warehouses and light industrial sites. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” (usually the employer, owner or occupier) must carry out and regularly review a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for all non-domestic premises.
Read the full legislation: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 Non-compliance can result in enforcement action, prohibition notices, significant fines or even prosecution. That’s why commercial fire risk assessment Leeds, office fire safety Leeds, shop fire risk assessment Leeds, warehouse fire risk assessment and industrial fire safety Leeds are essential for every responsible business.
