What is a Fire Risk Assessment

A fire and risk assessment is a systematic review of premises to assess fire risk and determine necessary precautions. It evaluates the likelihood of a fire starting and the potential harm it could cause to people or property. At Firecom Safety Systems, we take a logical, common sense approach to fire risk assessments, delivering a clear, actionable plan tailored to your business needs.

Although there is no universal method for conducting a fire risk assessment, we adhere to best practices, utilising the recognised PAS 79 template widely accepted by fire authorities.

Our Fire Safety Risk Assessment Covers:

  • Fire detection and alarm systems
  • Emergency lighting and signage
  • Evacuation routes and procedures
  • Firefighting equipment
  • Fire door integrity and compliance
  • Electrical safety measures
  • Building design and recent modifications

The Firecom Safety Systems Approach

At Firecom Safety Systems, our assessors are experts, fully qualified in conducting fire risk assessments and related areas such as fire extinguisher use, fire alarm system design and maintenance, emergency lighting systems, fire door integrity, and certified fire stopping methods. We focus on creating practical, easy to implement action plans that help you address any issues identified during the assessment, ensuring full compliance with fire safety laws.

Objectives of Our Fire Risk Assessment

  1. Identify fire hazards
  2. Minimise the risk of fire to as low as is reasonably practicable
  3. Ensure appropriate fire safety measures and management policies are in place
  4. Reduce the likelihood of a fire starting

Fire safety is not just a legal obligation but a moral one, too. No organisation should expose its employees to unnecessary risks, and creating a safe environment for everyone is essential.

Ensuring Compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Fire safety is critical for the “responsible person” in any non domestic premises, as mandated by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This individual must conduct a thorough fire risk assessment to identify potential hazards and risks relating to fire and explosions. A well executed fire risk assessment helps reduce fire risks and safeguards lives and property.

If your business employs five or more people, keeping a written record of the significant findings of your fire risk assessment is a legal requirement.

Fire Risk Assessment: Legal responsibilities

A comprehensive fire risk assessment should:

  • Identify all significant fire hazards
  • Evaluate the risks and the effectiveness of current controls
  • Identify employees and others at particular risk
  • Be conducted by a competent person
  • Engage staff, especially Health & Safety Officers
  • Be reviewed regularly, especially after significant changes (e.g. new staff, building alterations, or process changes)

Our fire risk assessments go beyond simple compliance, ensuring that the safety of your premises is thoroughly addressed with practical solutions.

Fire Risk Assessments FAQs

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly, typically every 12 months or whenever significant changes occur in the building, workforce, or processes.

What happens if I don’t have a fire risk assessment?

Failure to have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment can result in fines, legal action, or even imprisonment if serious breaches are identified.

Do I need a written fire risk assessment?

Can I carry out the fire risk assessment myself?

While it's possible to do it yourself, it’s highly recommended to use a qualified professional to ensure all risks are properly identified and addressed, especially for larger or more complex premises.
