A fire risk assessment is an audit of the current fire safety on site. This is usually done by a fire risk assessor. The process will look at a range of things that include safety systems, procedures and policies in place that help protect people and the property from fire. Part of the process will be to identify hazards and people at risk then evaluate to remove, reduce and protect from risk.

The legislation states that a fire risk assessment should be carried out by a competent person. A competent person will have knowledge and experience to carry out the task. We use level 4 ABBE approved fire risk assessors. The fire legislation is very vast and has different rules for different industry sectors. It is always best to employ a professional fire risk assessor. A good tip is to check the persons insurance as it is very hard to get insurance in the UK as they will have to demonstrate their competence to the insurer. A bad fire risk assessment can be very costly in many ways.

Yes, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for almost all types of premises except for single private dwellings. The regulatory reform (fire safety) order 2005 and fire safety act 2021 outline these legal obligations. The ' responsible person " (usually the employer, owner or occupier) is legally obligated to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out.

The fire safety order applies to all work places and common parts of buildings containing two or more domestic properties. This includes blocks of flats, HMO's and other non single-dwellings premises.

It is also worth considering what fire damage could do to your business.

The time really is dependant on the size of the property. Time will be needed to inspect the premises, checks some paperwork and then a report is produced off site. The fire risk assessor should be able to give an idea of how long on site will be required at the quoting stage.

Step 1 - We identify what the property is used for and the size of property to agree a price.

Step 2 - At an agreed time the fire risk assessor will visit the site to inspect the fire safety in place at the site.

Step 3 - A  detailed report will be produced off site by the fire risk assessor.

Step 4 - The report will be issued and a discussion with the fire risk assessor  will be held if any non compliance has been identified.

This really is down to the risk of the site. A high risk property should be done annually but a low risk could be every three years. This should be in the fire risk assessment report as the fire risk assessor should state when the document is to be reviewed.
