What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a review of a building to assess its fire risks. Controlling fire risks is an important part of managing a building. In order to be able to protect against the risks of fire, it is important to identify these risks with a Fire Risk Assessment.
Fire Risk Assessments are a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. They apply to all blocks of flats, large houses with multiple occupants (ie HMOs, Care Homes) and all non-domestic premises, including commercial and industrial properties.
Businesses of 5 or more people must keep a written record of an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment; failure to provide this may lead to loss of insurance claims, fines and even prosecution.
If you manage or are responsible for a building, be it a warehouse, shop, HMO, care home, medical practice, or office building, or are an owner or occupier of a premise that isn’t a single private dwelling. It is an important and legal requirement to have a Fire Risk Assessment to reduce the risk of fire and keep the people residing inside safe.
We can give you peace of mind when dealing with this legal obligation for compliance. Our qualified Fire Risk Assessors will take a careful and methodical look at your premises, the activities within the premises, and the people who use them, to help you understand the potential risks, and improve your fire safety.

regular safety checks of electrical sockets or lights
reduce the risk of fire spreading, such as fire doors
alert people about a fire in the building, such as smoke alarms
let people escape from the building, such as clear escape routes
tell people what to do if a fire starts, such as an emergency plan
reduce the harm caused if a fire starts, such as fire extinguishers or sprinklers
