Professional Fire Risk Assessments

What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of your premises to identify fire hazards, assess the level of risk to people, and determine what fire safety measures are needed to comply with the law. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO), every commercial premises, common area of a house in multiple occupation (HMO), and shared residential building in England and Wales must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment carried out by a competent person. Failure to do so can result in enforcement action, including prohibition notices, substantial fines, and even imprisonment for the responsible person.
