Fire Risk Assessor fined - 16/04/2015

A fire risk assessor has recently been found guilty and ordered to pay £7,383 in fines after carrying out an inadequate risk assessment.

Mr Stonelake was employed to carry out a risk assessment at a large restaurant in Newton Abbot and was prosecuted by the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service under Sections 9 and 18 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

He was found to not have taken into account the sleeping risk, the inadequate means of escape, lack of suitable fire doors, inadequate fire alarm system, and inadequate firefighting equipment on the premises.

Furthermore, he also serviced the firefighting equipment at the premises when not qualified or trained to do so and failed to service the equipment to an appropriate standard.

So ensure your Fire Risk Assessments are carried out to a suitable standard. At RANA our assessor is on the IFE register, is yours?
