FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS

Yes. Article 9 of the Fire Safety (Regulatory Reform) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of their premises.

A fire risk assessment is a comprehensive report that analyses fire safety hazards in a workplace and details measures to take in order to reduce the risk and keep people safe.

The cost of a fire risk assessment really depends on the size, complexity and location of the premises. Get in touch today and we will provide a free no obligation quote for your premises.

A fire risk assessment is required by law for all commercial premises, including common areas of flats, HMOs and holiday lets.

Before the visit, we will send you a checklist to help prepare for the fire risk assessment. A competent and qualified assessor will then visit your premises at an agreed date and time. They will tour the building, review relevant documentation, and liaise with the on-site representative to gather all necessary information. The assessment report will then be produced and issued electronically, which will detail a clear action plan that includes measures required to assist in compliance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

A fire risk assessment should be reviewed whenever there are significant changes to the workplace, activities carried out, the number of people involved, or if there has been a fire. In the event that there have been no significant changes, a fire risk assessment should be reviewed by a competent person at least once a year.

Fire safety certificates are no longer issued. The fire risk assessment report is the documentation that is legally required.
