What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
In the UK, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for all non-domestic premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation places a legal responsibility on the person or organisation in control of the premises to ensure that all occupants are safe from the risk of fire.
A comprehensive fire risk assessment involves conducting a thorough fire safety inspection of the premises, identifying potential fire hazards such as combustible materials, unsafe electrical wiring, and improperly stored flammable liquids, and assessing the risks they pose to the safety of the building and its occupants.
A fire risk assessment is an important tool in ensuring the safety of everyone who uses or occupies a building, including employees, customers, and members of the public. It is also a way of demonstrating compliance with fire safety regulations and can help to reduce the risk of financial and legal consequences associated with non-compliance.

Conducting a fire risk assessment can save lives
Is it a legal requirement to have a Fire Risk Assessment?
The law requires that all non-domestic premises undergo a full fire safety risk assessment, as specified by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Additionally, if a business employs more than five people, a written record of the assessment must be kept.
It is important to understand that a fire risk assessment is not intended to act as a certificate of compliance with the above legislation. Rather, it is a tool that enables the Responsible Person to establish and maintain suitable and adequate fire precautions in the workplace.
Ultimately, it is the employer or other responsible persons who are accountable for complying with the legal requirements.

Our Fire Risk Assessment Process
A fire risk assessment typically involves five key steps, as mandated by UK legislation, which are:
​
-
Identifying potential fire hazards in the premises
-
Identifying individuals who may be at risk in the event of a fire
-
Evaluating, removing, or reducing identified fire risks
-
Documenting findings, creating an emergency plan, and providing suitable training
-
Regularly reviewing and updating the fire risk assessment
Our comprehensive approach to fire risk assessment helps to identify potential fire hazards and implement measures to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire-related accidents and injuries. By conducting a thorough fire safety inspection and developing a fire protection plan, we can identify and mitigate potential fire hazards, reducing the risk of a fire occurring in the first place.
