Fire Risk Assessments

Comprehensive evaluations to ensure your property meets all fire safety requirements and protects lives

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed annually as a minimum, or whenever there are significant changes to the building, its use, or occupancy.

The 'responsible person' - typically the employer, owner, or person in control of the premises - must ensure a suitable assessment is carried out.

What happens if I don't have a fire risk assessment?

Failure to comply can result in enforcement notices, prosecution, unlimited fines, and up to 2 years imprisonment for serious breaches.

While you can conduct your own assessment if competent, using a qualified professional ensures thoroughness and compliance with current regulations.
