When to use:
In October 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 became effective. The obligations of all businesses have been increased. There are no exceptions. Even if you have no employees, the regulations apply to cover other visitors to your premises.
There are two good reasons to buy these documents.
First, Net Lawman has drawn a set of Fire Safety document templates to create for you a low cost route to compliance. As with all such documents, simply completing a form does not automatically mean you have complied. The purpose of the regulations is to make us all consider fire risks, reduce them where possible and inform everyone as appropriate. However, if you have a legal claim, or an employment claim, or simply a visit from your insurer, it will be difficult for anyone to say you have failed to comply, if these documents are in place.
Second, if you have the documents in place, it is very easy to diarise ahead a few months and update them. You can turn another piece of mind boggling red tape into a 30 minute task. (Note however, that in law, the duty is ongoing and requires constant monitoring!)
There are eight documents in the set. You are advised to look at all of them and judge which you need. All businesses are advised to buy HSE10, HSE11 and HSE16. Whether or not you need the others depends on your judgement of your fire risks.
The text above appears on each document introduction page. You do not need to re-read it for another document in this set.
HSE11: Fire risk assessment action plan
This document allows an employer to list all the risks (which have already been identified using HSE10) in a single document which can then be used to carry out further assessment.
HSE11 includes provisions for the following:
- identifies the person responsible for carrying out the assessment
- details of the action to be taken in light of the risk identified
- nominates a person who is then responsible for taking the appropriate action to reduce the risk
- nominates a target date by which the risk should have been seriously reduced, if not alleviated
- details the actual date the risk was reduced / removed
