Criminal Prosecution of Fire Risk Assessors: An Emerging Occupational Hazard
Fire risk assessors are facing criminal prosecution, with outcomes often hinging on documentation, interpretation and the availability of evidence. This raises fundamental questions around where responsibility sits, how decisions are made under scrutiny, and how consistently enforcement is applied in practice.
Drawing on direct conversations with assessors who have been subject to criminal charges, this session will explore how these cases actually unfold. It will examine whether prosecution is fast becoming an occupational hazard, whether this level of exposure is even insurable, and what is required to build a genuinely defensible position when decisions are challenged, sometimes many years after the original work was completed.
