What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
They’re a thorough inspection designed to identify fire hazards and ignition sources whilst reviewing your escape route and fire protection measures effectiveness to ensure compliance and safety.
Required in most non-domestic premises and communal areas under UK fire safety legislation, they also assess the people at risk in your property in the event of a fire.
They’re crucial in preventing damage and destruction of your property as well as serious injury or death of the people using your building.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place.
They must be performed by qualified fire assessors, like our BAFE SP205 - Life Safety Fire Risk Assessment experts.

5 Fire Risk Assessment Steps
Step 1: Identify Fire Hazard
We identify and record all fire hazards and ignition sources on your premises, categorising them as needing advisory or necessary remedial measures.
Step 2: People at Risk
We record each and every person on your premises so if a fire breaks out, you can count them at your fire evacuation point. These include employees, residents, visitors, customers, children, elderly, disabled people, lone workers, and more.
Step 3: Evaluate & Act
We count all doors and staircases as well as the number and location of escape routes. Plus, all necessary fire alarms, fire exit signs, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers are noted.
Step 4: Record, Plan & Train
Precise plans are in place in the event of a fire with correct training of staff members ensuring they know what to do.
Step 5: Review
Remember to regularly review your fire risk assessment as risk and hazards change and update over time.
