Why Every Harlech Business Needs a Fire Risk Assessment
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” must carry out and regularly review a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. This legal duty applies to virtually all non-domestic premises in Harlech, from Harlech Castle visitor facilities and beachfront cafés to B&Bs in the Snowdonia National Park.Failing to have a valid fire risk assessment Harlech can result in unlimited fines, prosecution, or closure. More importantly, it puts lives at risk.
