Who needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

All business premises and every block of flats must have a Fire Risk Assessment by law.

​

Unfortunately, Fire Risk Assessments are often overlooked, which can lead to buildings being exposed unnecessarily to fire risk, sometimes with the potential for loss of life.

​

If your business falls into any of the categories listed below, you will require a Fire Risk Assessment.

​

  • An employer or self-employed with business premises 

  • A Landlord responsible for business premises

  • A Landlord of a house of multiple occupancy (HMO)

  • Premises providing accommodation for paying guests

  • Premises open to the public and consumers

  • Charities, Churches, and voluntary organisations

  • Educational building, nurseries, schools, colleges

  • Medical facilities and care homes

  • Contractors responsible for all or parts of buildings

  • Residential property with communal or shared area

​

This list is not definitive/exhaustive, therefore if you are unsure if you require a Fire Risk Assessment, please contact us for help/advice or your local fire/council authority, will also be able to advise.
