Guest BenChar Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi I run a woodland with sawmill, a few tractors and 5 employees. We have a Diesel storage. I was asked to carry out a fire risk assessment. do I just use a standard fire risk assessment form or is there special regulation for forestry? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 The sawmill and not the woodland is subject to The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 , consequently you will be required to conduct a fire risk assessment for the sawmill. There is no such a thing as a standard fire risk assessment form and each premises is a bespoke situation. The appropriate guidance for a factory is https://www.gov.uk/workplace-fire-safety-your-responsibilities/fire-safety-advice-documents and you may need to consult the guide for offices.
