What Is Included In A Fire Risk Assessment?

Our assessments are detailed, clear, and designed to help you take practical action. We identify risks and hazards in all areas of your premises, including:

  1. Fire Hazards – Identifying flammable materials, faulty electrical equipment, open flames, and other ignition sources.
  2. Escape Routes – Checking that all emergency exits are marked, unobstructed, and accessible.
  3. Fire Detection and Warning Systems – Reviewing smoke alarms, fire alarms, and detection systems.
  4. Firefighting Equipment – Assessing extinguishers, fire blankets, and their maintenance status.
  5. Emergency Procedures – Evacuation plans and staff training protocols are evaluated.
  6. Occupant Vulnerabilities – Considering the needs of employees, visitors, or residents, including those with limited mobility.

 

Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed written report highlighting key risks, prioritised action points, and tailored recommendations to bring your premises up to standard.

 

Fire Safety Law: Know Your Responsibilities

UK fire safety legislation can be complex, but staying compliant is essential. The key laws that govern fire risk in England and Wales include:

  1. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – Applies to all non-domestic premises.
  2. Fire Safety England Regulations 2022 – Introduces additional responsibilities for building owners and managers.
  3. Fire Safety Act 2021—This act applies to multi-occupied residential buildings and clarifies obligations for flat entrance doors, external walls, and more.

Every organisation must appoint a Responsible Person to ensure compliance and implement safety actions. With nearly 20,000 commercial fires occurring in the UK each year, these duties should never be overlooked.
