Fire Risk Assessment
Ffestiniog

Areas We Urgently Assess

• Across the Wales area, Welsh Fire and Rescue Services (North Wales, Mid and West Wales, South Wales) attends incidents in Ffestiniog's non-domestic premises — a village or rural community where mixed-use and multi-occupied buildings are common.
• Student HMOs and houses in multiple occupation (common parts need an FRA under Article 9 RRO 2005)
• Retail, hospitality and night-time-economy venues
• Industrial units, warehouses and manufacturing sites
• Care homes, healthcare and education premises

Common Mistakes in Ffestiniog

• the responsible person assuming Welsh Fire and Rescue Services (North Wales, Mid and West Wales, South Wales) will inspect on their behalf — the duty to hold a suitable and sufficient assessment sits with the responsible person, not the fire and rescue service.
• Forgetting that common parts require an FRA under the RRO 2005 as applied in Wales
• Mixed-use buildings where the commercial and residential responsible persons fail to co-ordinate
• Not complying with The Fire Safety (Wales) Regulations 2023 for multi-occupied dwellings
• Not reviewing the assessment after refurbishment, change of use, or new equipment
