What is a fire risk assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a legal requirement for almost every business and non-domestic premises in the UK. It involves a thorough inspection of your property to identify potential fire hazards, assess the level of risk, and recommend practical measures to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Why do you need one?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, business owners, landlords, and property managers are legally responsible for fire safety. This includes carrying out a fire risk assessment and keeping it up to date.
A fire risk assessment is essential to:
Protect people and property
Identify fire hazards and how to reduce them
Ensure your fire safety systems are fit for purpose
Comply with fire safety regulations
Avoid fines, enforcement action, or prosecution
What does our fire risk assessment include?
Our qualified fire safety assessors will visit your site and carry out a detailed evaluation, covering:
Identification of fire hazards (ignition sources, fuel, oxygen)
People at risk (staff, visitors, vulnerable individuals)
Assessment of existing fire safety measures
Evaluation of escape routes, signage, and lighting
Fire detection and alarm systems
Fire-fighting equipment
Emergency plans and evacuation procedures
Staff training and fire drills
Record keeping and documentation
After the visit, you’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand Fire Risk Assessment Report, including:
✅ Identified risks
✅ Practical recommendations
✅ Action plan and priority list
✅ Photos (if required)
✅ Full compliance documentation
Who needs a fire risk assessment?
You are required to have a Fire Risk Assessment if you are:
A business owner or employer
A landlord of commercial or multi-occupancy residential property
A managing agent or facilities manager
In control of any non-domestic premises
Even small businesses with fewer than 5 employees are required to carry out an assessment — though they may not need to keep a written record.
How often should it be reviewed?
We recommend reviewing your fire risk assessment annually, or sooner if:
You’ve made changes to the building or layout
You’ve introduced new equipment or processes
There’s been a fire or near-miss
Your staff or occupancy has changed
