Fire Risk Assessments
Comprehensive and professional fire risk assessments that help businesses meet their legal obligations, reduce risk, and protect their people and property.
The importance of fire risk assessments
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, almost every non-domestic property is legally required to conduct a fire risk assessment. Failing to do so can result in significant consequences, including fines, enforcement notices, and forced closure.
Beyond compliance, a thorough risk assessment plays a crucial role in safeguarding staff, customers, assets, and daily operations. It identifies hazards, evaluates the likelihood and impact of fire, and provides actionable steps to reduce risks and enhance your building’s overall safety performance.
Whether you manage a small premises or a large multi-storey site, an effective fire risk assessment ensures your protection measures are fit for purpose and aligned with current regulations and insurer expectations.
What do our fire risk assessments cover?
As an experienced fire risk assessment company, we carry out assessments in line with PAS 79, the recognised code of practice for fire risk assessment. All assessments are completed by competent, third-party accredited fire risk assessors, ensuring a consistent, structured, and auditable approach.
Our fire risk assessment typically include:
- Identify hazards – We’ll review potential ignition sources, fuel loads, electrical equipment, storage arrangements, and the building’s structural layout.
- Evaluate risks – We assess the likelihood of a fire occurring and the potential impact on your people, property, and operations.
- Assess people at risk – We’ll identify vulnerable individuals, including employees, visitors, contractors, lone workers, and those requiring additional support during evacuation.
- Review existing controls – We’ll evaluate your current fire protection measures such as detection, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, signage, compartmentation, and escape routes.
- Recommendations for improvement – We’ll provide clear, prioritised actions to reduce risk, improve compliance, and strengthen your fire safety strategy.
- Documentation and compliance records – You’ll receive a full written report including findings, photographic evidence, risk level scoring, and an actionable improvement plan.
Our assessments are clear, practical, and designed to support duty holders, building managers, and responsible persons in making informed decisions that enhance safety and meet all legal requirements.
