It should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes could affect fire safety, such as alterations to the building, how spaces are used, occupancy or fire risks. The Responsible Person should ensure the assessment remains suitable and sufficient.
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains suitable and sufficient. It should also be reviewed following significant changes to the premises, how they are used, occupancy, fire precautions or after an incident. Regular review helps ensure fire safety arrangements remain effective.
