B&K FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
What penalties and fines are there for not having a Fire Risk Assessment?
Failure to undertake regular Fire Risk Assessments is not only a risk to your business, your people and your customers, but can land you in court. If there is a fire or if premises have been identified to be at risk, then a lack of an appropriate Fire Risk Assessment and suitable precautions can result in prosecution with severe fines and, in cases of extreme negligence, prison terms.
Whatever the case, a lack of a Fire Risk Assessment and obvious measures to reduce risk and enhance safety, can be damaging in so many ways. And even if you can afford the fine (which will be tens to hundreds time more than the cost of an actual assessment), then the publicity can be very bad for business:
