22 How does the Order affect.. Fire risk assessors Fire alarm companies Fire safety consultants - a responsible person? - a person responsible? - A 5(3) person? - A 5(4) person?

23 Article 5 (3) Any duty.shall also be imposed on every person, other than the responsible person.who has, to any extent, control of those premises so far as the requirements relate to matters within his control.

24 Article 5 (4) Where a person has, by virtue of any contract or tenancy, an obligation of any extent in relation to- (a) the maintenance or repair of any premises, including anything in or on the premises; or (b) the safety of any premises That person is to be treated.as being a person who has control of the premises to the extent that his obligation so extends.

25 Responsible Persons Enforcement notices 30. (1) If the enforcing authority is of the opinion that the responsible person or any other person mentioned in article 5(3) has failed Prohibition notices 31. (1) If the enforcing authority is of the opinion that use of premises involves or will involve a risk to relevant persons so serious that use of the premises ought to be prohibited or restricted, the authority may serve on the responsible person or any other person mentioned in article 5(3) a notice.

26 Fire Alarm Engineers Article 5 (4) Where a person has, by virtue of any contract.an obligation of any extent in relation to- (a) the maintenance or repair of any premises, including anything in or on the premises; or That person is to be treated.as being a person who has control of the premises to the extent that his obligation so extends.

28 Fire Risk Assessors How would the court approach it? Was the Assessor appropriately qualified? Was the Assessor Competent?

29 Fire Risk Assessors Would the Court work backwards? Insufficient and unsuitable Report = Incompetent Risk Assessor A dangerous approach The Courts like operational Firemen!

30 Fire Risk Assessors But how much training, experience, and knowledge is sufficient? CFO recognise differing levels of competence required for different types of premises no recognised universal criteria Accreditation is key

31 Fire Risk Assessors you cannot disclaim criminal liability but you can limit your control

32 You can protect yourselves Appropriate disclaimers Agreed terms of instruction with the RP Accurately assess your control of premises Accurately reflect your input Limit your comments on management Are you putting relevant persons at risk of serious injury or death?

33 Fire Risk Assessors (in house) What if they don t do as I advise? Can I be liable? What is the extent of my control? Record of advice and requests When they do rely on your incorrect advice

34 Fire Risk Assessors (in house) What if they don t do as I advise? Can I be liable? What is the extent of my control? Record of advice and requests When they do rely on your incorrect advice
