Our fire risk assessment process
Under UK law, every business premise is required to carry out a fire risk assessment annually, even if conditions appear unchanged. Local authorities can audit your business at any time and request to see an up-to-date copy of your assessment, making compliance non-negotiable.
To ensure a truly thorough and effective review of your site, partnering with a professional fire risk assessor is paramount. Our experienced assessors work collaboratively with your health and safety officer, owner, or manager to complete a comprehensive fire risk assessment report, robustly supported with photographic evidence.
Our fire risk assessor will need access to all areas of your premises to complete the fire risk assessment. They will look at your fire alarm system, gas supply, lighting systems, electrical items, wet and dry riser outlets, sprinkler system, fire extinguishers, and where flammable or explosive materials are used or stored, checking for potential hazards as they go. They will also need to see your current fire safety certification and proof of when the fire safety systems were last tested.
The fire risk assessment report will identify any risks and hazards that you need to address with photographic evidence, and recommend how to resolve these. Taking action on the findings will help your business to eliminate or reduce the risk of fire.
If required, our team can review the findings with you and guide you to create a fire risk management plan to deal with any emergency situation.
