I am updating our Health & Safety Forms used for setting up work experience and would like to ask:
- How often are businesses visited by the fire service, is it once a year or less?
- ow often should they carry out fire drills?

Thank you for your assistance.

Inspections there is no set frequencies it is all about risk assessment, sleeping accommodation is usually inspected annually but other types of premises will vary.

Fire drills again there is no set frequencies but every twelve months are pretty standard and were the occupancy changes and new occupants are involved it can be done more regular, for a school or college I would think every term would be suitable unless students are only accepted once a year.
