FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

Your Responsibilities

If you're responsible for a building, it’s important to do all you can to reduce the risk of fire to keep people safe. It saves lives, it’s your legal duty, and it makes good business sense.

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement. If you are responsible for a building, for example a employer, owner or occupier of premises that aren't a 'single private dwelling' (a private home), you need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment. It is your duty to identify fire risks and hazards in your premises and take appropriate action.

The Responsible Person must record all findings from their fire risk assessment, regardless of the size or purpose of the premises. This is a new requirement, effective from 1 October 2023. Previously this was only required for certain types of buildings. Responsible Persons must also record their fire safety arrangements.

How is a Fire Risk Assessment carried out?

We work closely with you when carrying out your Fire Risk Assessment, we discuss all elements with you to ensure that we can provide the most relevant fire safety guidance based on your premises' individual characteristics, layout, industry regulations, and fire safety guidelines as well as they way in which you use the premises as well as those which use the premises.

What happens once I've had my fire risk assessment?

A quality Fire Risk Assessment is a valuable resource, that's why we don't provide basic checklists, we provide you with a detailed, clear and easy to understand report that not only identifies potential risks but also provides clear, actionable recommendations.

Once you've received your Fire Risk Assessment Report and Action Plan, we're still on hand to help, once you've had a chance to have a look through the recommendations, your dedicated fire risk assessor is on hand to discuss any points with you as well as any guidance.
