Why Otley Premises Need a Professional 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 for all non-domestic premises. This applies throughout Otley, a vibrant market town with historic buildings, independent retail, tourism spots, and high footfall areas.Non-compliance can result in unlimited fines, enforcement action from authorities, or business disruption. More importantly, it protects staff, customers, visitors, and the community in this welcoming West Yorkshire town.
