Due to changes in Fire safety law (October 2006) British standards have published the following:

PAS 79 Fire Risk Assessment. Guidance and a Recommended Methodology

This ground-breaking Publicly Available Specification (PAS) gives a new nine-step structured approach and corresponding documentation for conducting and recording significant findings of fire risk assessments in buildings and parts of buildings to which the Workplace Fire Precautions Legislation applies. The intention of PAS 79 is to enable employers, and those acting on their behalf, to carry out the ‘suitable and sufficient’ fire risk assessment required by the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, so as to enable the employer to satisfy the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations. PAS 79 provides those who carry out fire risk assessment with leading-edge tools and techniques to carry out fire risk assessments and to record the significant findings.

Fire risk assessments carried out according to PAS 79 address the safety of all occupants of buildings, including employees, visitors, guests, contractors and members of the public.

Accordingly, the fire risk assessments carried out in accordance with PAS 79 are likely to provide a good basis for the Responsible Person charged with ensuring adequate fire precautions in buildings when UK government makes major changes to fire safety legislation in England and Wales by means of a new Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. One significant revision is that fire authorities will no longer issue fire certificates for premises. Responsibility for fire protection will lie with the Responsible Person.
