  • Decide who could be harmed and how. Also who is at the most risk currently.
  • Reduce these risks to a level that is as low as possible.
  • Evaluate the safety precautions that need to be put in place and implemented.

Why Are Fire Risk Assessments Required?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire risk assessments are a legal obligation for all commercial premises and also for residential properties that house tenants such as care homes and university accommodation, for example. 

It is the legal obligation of the property owner or landlord to ensure that a comprehensive fire risk assessment is carried out and reviewed at least once annually in line with any structural or personnel changes within the property.

The primary reasons for conducting fire risk assessments include:

  • Legal Compliance: Adhering to legal requirements to avoid penalties and ensure the safety of the premises.
  • Protection of Life: Identifying and mitigating risks to prevent injuries or fatalities in the event of a fire
  • Property Protection: Reducing the risk of fire damage to the building and its contents.
  • Reputation Management: Demonstrating a commitment to safety can enhance a business’s reputation.

The ”responsible person” of the business or premises is responsible for arranging the fire risk assessment with a professional and accredited assessor just like Business Safety Solutions. Failure to do so can lead to heavy prosecution or imprisonment.

Great question. Fire risk assessments should be reviewed at least once annually. However, further reviews may be necessary if there are significant changes to the structure of the building or in personnel. If in doubt, we urge you to get in touch for a review.

Fire risk assessments are required for all non-domestic premises, including workplaces, commercial buildings, public buildings, and the communal areas of residential buildings like apartment blocks.

Regular maintenance and testing of fire safety equipment, ongoing training for staff, and periodic reviews of the fire risk assessment are essential to ensure that fire safety measures remain effective.

Common fire hazards include faulty electrical equipment, improper storage of flammable materials, blocked fire exits, lack of fire alarms or extinguishers, and poor housekeeping practices. Hazards and commonality can vary depending on the type of premises, property, and sector.

Business Safety Solutions do not provide fire safety training. However, we do provide online courses that you may benefit from here. For in-person fire safety training, we can also recommend trusted business associates. 

It is advised that to ensure a complete compliance with rules, particularly for complicated or high-risk premises, to hire a qualified fire safety professional.  For all different kinds of businesses and landlords, Business Safety Solutions is able to offer fire risk assessments. We have the ability to visit your location at a time and on a date that is best for you.

  • Testimonials
Gary came to my Osteopathic CPD group on 10th October 2020 on a zoom seminar. This was to give us reassurance of the health and safety procedures we have put in place for Covid 19. Gary readily and kindly agreed, giving an excellent well prepared presentation and easily with expert knowledge answered all our questions. I also found it very reassuring and helpful as he showed the dentistry and physiotherapy risk assessments he had implemented . The presentation helped to give confidence and reassurance to myself and osteopathic colleagues, that we have implemented the correct procedures of health and safety with full PPE and professional duty of care. Also Gary has been to my practice and brought all my professional policies of duty up to date. Fire Safety, Risk assessment, pathways for my practitioner team due to Covid. What a relief to have all this help and support, so all is professionally and expertly documented to give me peace of mind so I can concentrate on my work. Thank you so much and I will certainly recommend you most Highly.

His Assessor drew my attention to him and suggested that he would make a good assessor. I took an interest in his portfolio and found it to be well above average.

"As a small business, it can be hard to find a trusted partner for H&S. The safety of our team is paramount, though spiralling costs were a concern. Gary perfectly understood the reality of being an SME and tailored and delivered a H&S package and Covid-19 audit, that fitted perfectly in our organisation (and our budget), with a sensible and effective approach."
The Goodlife Outdoor CompanyManaging Director
Our business has faced many new challenges due to the Covid-19 situation. With ever changing guidelines and with such important things at stake, we needed help and assurances that we were doing everything we needed to do as an employer to protect staff and protect the business. BSS performed a workplace audit for us and also provided so much useful information and resources to assist the business with our new fluid workforce requirement. After spending time with us in the office, BSS sent us a comprehensive action plan that we used to make our place of work safe. Gary’s clearly an experienced professional as his delivery method made it easy for us to understand a situation that’s previously done nothing but confuse us. We now have confidence that we have done what is required and we have shown that we are a responsible employer which is so important for us. The process was very efficient and all the paperwork arrived within days, as promised by BSS. We highly recommend BSS to all small businesses who want peace of mind about the safety of their offices and home working for staff.
