18 Responsibility for fire safety
19 However, the message is much the same That any fire-risk in a premises must be managed, for the life of the building Therefore the Responsible Person / Duty Holder must ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and maintained and that appropriate control measures are implemented But, who is responsible?
20 The legislation Meaning of responsible person 3. In this Order responsible person means (a) in relation to a workplace, the employer, if the workplace is to any extent under his control; Risk assessment 9. (1) The responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed for the purpose of identifying the general fire precautions he needs to take to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed on him by or under this Order.
21 The legislation 5. Duties under this Order (3) Any duty imposed by articles 8 to 22 on the responsible person in respect of premises 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. (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 premises; (b) the safety of any premises, that person is to be treated, for the purposes of paragraph (3), as being a person who has control of the premises to the extent that his obligation so extends.
22 What does this mean in practice? If you are involved in provision, maintenance or management of fire safety at any level then you share liability for its usefulness and its operation when it s needed in fire, and that liability will still be there in the event of a court case. I place the order; it is not my responsibility to install the works If it is your responsibility to appoint a fire risk assessor or specify a system, materials and/or appoint the installation contractor, it is also your responsibility to ensure that they can prove competency for the work they are undertaking. It s no longer simply a duty of care or voluntary it s a legal obligation.
23 2 Pubs Hotel rooms above 1 x 9 rooms 1 x 6 rooms
24 The inspection by F&RS Common sense breaches Prohibition of 2 nd and 3 rd floors.. Locked exits Blocked staircases Non maintained fire alarm Non maintained extinguishers! Non maintained emergency lighting
25 Why Prosecute? Risk assessor competency? Common sense breaches for owner?
26 The result Mr David Liu Responsible Person 8 months imprisonment (due to early guilty plea) (Precedent set at 12 months) 15,000 Mr John O Rourke Fire Risk Assessor 8 months imprisonment (due to early guilty plea) 5,862
27 Advice from the prosecutor Know the legislation Know the guidance documents Qualifications/ Training / CPD Competency Beware of precedents/templates Be premises specific Keep up to date Experience
28 Analysis of 100 prosecutions From May 2007 With kind permission of Warren Spencer and IFSEC Global
29 Analysis of 100 prosecutions From May 2007 North west of England only Out of 100 cases, conducted only 3 trials All 3 found guilty Conclusion, most defendants pleaded guilty 5 cases withdrawn by prosecuting authority In 2, guilty plea entered by another defendant in respect of same premises In one other defendants company had changed names and been wound up In two other cases defendants disappeared. Warrants await!
30 Analysis of 100 prosecutions From May % of defendants pleaded guilty Conclusion well prepared prosecutions 28% involved HMOs 21% involved premises containing multiple occupation including living accommodation Therefore almost half of the prosecutions involved some form of domestic premises County councils prefer to leave prosecutions in HMOs to F&Ras rather than using powers under Housing Act Legal uncertainty surrounding extent and application of RRO to HMOs
31 Analysis of 100 prosecutions From May 2007 Charges varied but, 85% charges included alleged breach involving FRA 60% involved lack of fire alarm or working fire alarm Next most common lack of appropriate fire doors
32 Analysis of 100 prosecutions From May 2007 Sentences varied, Fines being main punishment (magistrates sentencing powers are limited to fines) Defendants can only be fined in accordance with their means (companies usually in proportion to profits) Total fines handed out 427, ,339 costs 6 sentences of imprisonment 4 suspended 2 immediate imprisonment Community orders, (curfews) and unpaid work
33 Enforcement examples Company When Fine + Costs Why Tesco Apr k Inadequate FRA, blocked escape routes, inadequate fire separation Shell Lillie House June 2009 June k Blocked routes, blocked exits, defective fire doors, excessive fire load, FRA not updated since 2003 and actions not implemented 45k + 6 months Serious fire safety failings leading to prohibition of use of the premises (breached twice) New Look Nov k Alarm was silenced during a fire and customers and staff allowed to re-enter Belfry Hotel Oct k Inadequate alarm, faulty detectors, substandard exits, lack of staff training
34 Competent Persons The Responsible Person must. Take measures for fire-fighting in the premises, and; nominate competent persons to implement those measures Establish and give effect to procedures to be followed in the event of serious and imminent danger; and nominate a sufficient number of competent persons to implement those procedures Appoint one or more competent persons to assist in undertaking the preventive and protective measures. Competent? preventive and protective measures means the measures which have been identified by the responsible person in consequence of a risk assessment as the general fire precautions he needs to take to comply with the requirements of this Order Sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities
35 Fire Risk Assessment Competency Council
36 The FRACC criteria... An understanding of the relevant current best fire safety practices in premises of the type in question; An awareness of the limitations of the fire risk assessor s own experience and knowledge; A willingness and ability to supplement existing experience and knowledge, when necessary, by obtaining external help and advice.
37 An appropriate knowledge of... Assessment of risk from fire Applicable legislation Appropriate guidance Behaviour of fire in premises Means of Escape Effects of fire on people and their behaviour Fire Prevention Fire Protection Management of fire safety
38 What is an Appropriate level of knowledge?
39 BS9999: 2008 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings states The later installation of electrical and IT cable systems, building service pipe work, for example, often causes significant damage to the usefulness of fire compartments in buildings..cold work checking can be as important as control of hot work permits for work on buildings
40 PAS 79 Fire development and spread can be passively limited by fire protection measures, such as fire resisting walls and floors, which can be used to subdivide the building into a number of separate fire compartments.. It will often be relevant, therefore, for the fire risk assessor to take account of such fire-resisting construction and to consider its maintenance [e.g. the adequacy of fire stopping ], often by inspecting sample areas of construction.

53 In summary Assessor must be competent Varies with the circumstances If using an external consultant, ensure they are members of a recognised register Avoid the use of checklists other than for the simplest, and low risk of circumstances Use an appropriate template/proforma Record the assessment Keep the assessment under review
54 Some numbers Over 100 training providers offering FRA training.. Varying standards The FPA successfully trained in the region of 800 FRAs in the last 12 months and we are just one provider Four main Fire Risk Assessor Registers (albeit with more to come via BAFE SP205)
