Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

Fire safety is not just a legal requirement—it’s a critical step in protecting your business, employees, and customers. A professionally conducted Fire Risk Assessment ensures you meet your obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 while reducing the risk of fire hazards that could devastate your premises.

A fire risk assessment is essential for a wide range of properties and businesses to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and protect lives. HMO landlords and property managers must have assessments in place to meet licensing requirements, while commercial units, offices, and co-working spaces need them to maintain workplace safety. Shops, supermarkets, and retail premises must safeguard customers and staff, just as hotels, restaurants, bars, and leisure venues require fire safety measures for public protection. Schools, colleges, nurseries, and universities need thorough fire risk assessments to comply with safeguarding laws, and hospitals, care homes, and healthcare facilities must ensure the safety of vulnerable individuals. Factories, warehouses, and industrial sites with high-risk machinery and hazardous materials demand strict fire prevention protocols. Additionally, community centres, libraries, churches, and government buildings require compliance to protect visitors, while event venues, theatres, concert halls, and stadiums must have clear evacuation plans. Property developers and construction sites also need fire risk assessments to ensure compliance and safety during development. Regardless of the industry or building type, a fire risk assessment is a legal obligation that helps prevent fire hazards and ensures a safe environment for occupants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, if you own or manage a commercial building, HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), workplace, public building, or rented property, you are legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place to comply with UK fire safety regulations.

 

A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly, typically every 12 months, and updated whenever there are significant changes to the building structure, occupancy, or fire safety measures. High-risk premises may require more frequent reviews.

A fire risk assessment includes:
✔️ Identifying fire hazards and risks
✔️ Evaluating fire detection and alarm systems
✔️ Reviewing escape routes and emergency exits
✔️ Assessing fire-fighting equipment (extinguishers, sprinklers, etc.)
✔️ Examining fire safety training and procedures
✔️ Providing a detailed report with recommendations for compliance

Failing to have a fire risk assessment can result in fines, legal action, or even imprisonment in severe cases. If a fire occurs and you have not conducted an assessment, you may be held liable for damages, injuries, or fatalities, and insurance claims could be voided.

The time required depends on the size and complexity of the building. A small commercial unit may take 1-2 hours, while larger premises, such as schools or industrial buildings, may take several hours to complete a thorough assessment.

While you can conduct your own fire risk assessment if you are competent and knowledgeable in fire safety, it is strongly recommended to use a qualified fire risk assessor to ensure compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices.

The cost of a fire risk assessment varies depending on the size, type, and complexity of the building. Prices typically start from £150 for small businesses and increase for larger or high-risk premises, such as HMOs, schools, and industrial sites.
