Half of pubs compliant with fire safety regulations

Pubs and clubs could be losing money through out-of-date fire assessments, after a Government report outlined that only half of licensed premises are complaint with the Fire Safety Order.

Research shows that only 52% of 8,200 licensed premises audited were “satisfactorily compliant” after being tested by fire and rescue authorities (FRA), compared to 30% of 4,900 offices and 29% of 6,000 factories and warehouses.

The most commonly non-compliance issues were risk assessments, emergency routes and exits and maintaining precautions.

A fire risk assessments is a legal requirement and determines the number of people a premises can accommodate at any one time.
