What is?
BAFE SP 205 3rd party accreditation
BAFE SP205 is a scheme that has been developed by a group of fire industry experts, it sets out detailed fire safety standards that a company must meet to deem them competent in conducting fire risk assessments. To achieve this accreditation you are assessed and if successful, accredited by a 3rd party approvals body that is recognised by the Government. Ours is the NSI. There is strict criteria to achieving it and also keeping it, as there are regular ongoing audits. Once accredited a certificate of conformity is provided on completion of each individual fire risk assessment to confirm that the BAFE scheme has been applied. This ultimately helps the building’s Responsible Person meet the requirements for fire risk assessments under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Do you know what your legal responsibilities are with regards to fire safety?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the legislation you need to ensure you are meeting with. Starting with Article 9.- (1) which states: 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.
The Responsible Person (RP) is someone who either is the employer, if the workplace is to any extent under his control. or the person who has control of the premise, or the owner, where the person in control of the premise does not have control in connection with the carrying on by that person of a trade, business or other undertaking.
This legislation is often referred to as the Fire Safety Order (FSO) or Regulatory Reform Order (RRO). It is applicable to all non domestic premises in England & Wales. This also includes the communal areas of all residential premises. The wording "non domestic premise" basically means any place of work. So if you work in a care home, hospital, factory, warehouse, shop, office, school, restaurant, community hall or even an historic building open to the public, then the FSO applies to your building and the responsible person must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out.
Once a fire risk assessment is carried out, the responsible person must act upon its findings. The findings will be in the form of an action plan which will highlight any non conformance's that the assessor has found that do not meet with the requirements of the FSO. This could be anything from blocked fire exits, lack of signage, lack of training, an insufficient amount of fire extinguishers, incorrectly maintained fire alarm systems to employees not being familiar with their escape routes. Not acting upon its findings could put the lives of your employees and visitors at risk from fire and put you at risk of prosecution from your local Fire And Rescue Authority.
