Does your premises need a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess fire risk and put suitable precautions in place. This applies to most non-domestic premises and the shared areas of certain residential buildings.
Businesses and employers
Employers and people controlling workplaces must identify fire hazards, protect occupants and keep their fire risk assessment under review.
Landlords and managing agents
Those responsible for HMOs, communal areas and managed buildings must consider the safety of residents, visitors and contractors.
Public and third-sector organisations
Schools, care facilities, charities, community buildings and other public-facing premises also have fire safety responsibilities.
What is included in a fire risk assessment?
Every building is different. Your assessment is based on the way the premises is constructed, occupied and managed—not a generic checklist applied without context.
- Potential sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen
- People who may be especially at risk
- Fire detection and warning arrangements
- Emergency lighting and escape routes
- Fire doors and compartmentation
- Firefighting equipment and signage
- Housekeeping and storage arrangements
- Staff information, instruction and training
- Emergency procedures and record keeping
- Management systems and review arrangements
Following the site inspection, you receive a clear written report explaining the significant findings and any actions required.
