Fire Risk Assessments

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for most non-domestic premises in the UK, helping to identify fire hazards, assess risks, and ensure suitable fire safety measures are in place. The assessment reviews factors such as escape routes, fire detection systems, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, and overall building safety to help protect occupants and reduce the risk of fire. Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly, typically annually or whenever there are significant changes to the building, occupancy, layout, or fire safety arrangements, to ensure continued compliance with UK fire safety regulations and maintain a safe environment for everyone.

questions about fire

Who is Responsible ?

In the UK, a fire risk assessment must be carried out by a “Responsible Person”, typically the business owner, employer, landlord, managing agent, or person in control of the premises. While the law does not always require a specialist, the assessment must be completed by someone who is competent and has sufficient fire safety knowledge, training, and experience to identify risks and recommend suitable safety measures. For larger, more complex, or higher-risk buildings, it is strongly recommended that a qualified professional fire risk assessor carries out the assessment.
