Fire risk assessment FAQs

Why do I need a fire risk assessment?

A fire risk assessment is essential for several reasons:

– Legal requirement: In the UK, fire risk assessments are mandated by law for nearly all non-domestic premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Fire Safety Act Scotland etc. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment.
– Safety of occupants: The primary goal is to safeguard the safety of everyone in the building, including employees, customers, and visitors. By identifying potential fire hazards and implementing preventive measures, the likelihood of fire-related injuries or fatalities can be significantly reduced.
– Property protection: A thorough fire risk assessment helps in identifying and addressing potential fire hazards, thereby reducing the risk of fire damage to the building and its contents. This not only protects the property but also minimises potential financial losses.
– Emergency preparedness: The assessment helps in developing an effective fire strategy – an emergency evacuation plan – ensuring that everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire. This preparedness can save lives and reduce panic during an emergency.
– Insurance requirements: Many insurance companies require businesses to have a fire risk assessment in place to determine the level of risk they are insuring. This can affect your insurance premiums and coverage.

Fire risk assessments need to be reviewed regularly, especially if there are changes in the building’s layout, purpose, or occupancy. This ensures that the fire safety measures remain effective and up-to-date.
