Dover-Specific Fire Risk Assessment Considerations
Dover’s diverse property portfolio presents unique fire safety challenges. From historic buildings with their distinctive architectural features to modern developments, each requires a tailored approach to fire risk management.
Historic Properties
Dover boasts numerous heritage properties that require special consideration during fire risk assessments. Our team understands how to implement effective fire safety measures while respecting the historical integrity of these buildings, many of which date back centuries and form part of Dover’s rich heritage.
Commercial and Port Properties
With Dover’s status as a major port and gateway to Europe, many commercial properties face specific fire safety requirements. Our commercial fire risk assessments help businesses maintain compliance whilst protecting employees, customers, and valuable assets.
Tourism and Hospitality Venues
Dover’s thriving tourism industry means hotels, guest houses, and visitor attractions require particular attention to fire safety. Our comprehensive assessments ensure that both staff and visitors are protected by appropriate fire safety measures, regardless of the age or style of the building.
Legal Requirements for Fire Risk Assessments in Dover
All non-domestic properties in Dover must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation requires a ‘responsible person’ to ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is conducted and regularly reviewed.
For residential buildings, the Fire Safety Act 2021 has extended these requirements, making regular fire risk assessments even more critical. Failure to comply can result in substantial fines or even imprisonment.
