In Scotland, Fire Crews carry out Operational Risk Assessments or Operational intelligence visits to premises under Section 9 (2) (d) of the Fire Scotland act (I think).
If the information we collect has risks missing or incorrectly filled in, are our employers in breach of Section 53 of the act which states:
53 Duties of employers to employees
(1) Each employer shall ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of the
employer’s employees in respect of harm caused by fire in the workplace.
(2) Each employer shall—
(a) carry out an assessment of the workplace for the purpose of identifying any risks
to the safety of the employer’s employees in respect of harm caused by fire in the
workplace;
(b) take in relation to the workplace such of the fire safety measures as are necessary
to enable the employer to comply with the duty imposed by subsection (1).
(3) Where under subsection (2)(a) an employer carries out an assessment, the employer
shall—
(a) in accordance with regulations under section 57, review the assessment; and
(b) take in relation to the workplace such of the fire safety measures as are necessary
to enable the employer to comply with the duty imposed by subsection (1).
(4) Schedule 2 makes provision as to the fire safety measures.
I am thinking in relation to 3 (a) which states that the assessment should be reviewed.
Fire Safety is not my forte but was curious as to how these things would pan out, should an accident occur.
