Frequently Asked Questions

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for any non-domestic premises in England and Wales must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept up to date. This includes workplaces, commercial premises, residential common areas, and places of public assembly.

How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?

There is no fixed legal interval, but fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly (typically annually) and whenever there are significant changes such as alterations to the building, change of use, changes to occupancy, or after a fire or near-miss incident. Higher-risk premises may require more frequent reviews.

Who can carry out a fire risk assessment?

The Fire Safety Order requires that the person carrying out the assessment must be competent. While there is no legal requirement for specific qualifications, using a third-party certified assessor demonstrates due diligence and ensures the assessment meets recognised standards.

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

Failure to have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a criminal offence. The fire and rescue authority can issue enforcement notices, prohibition notices (closing your premises), or prosecute. Penalties can include unlimited fines and, for serious breaches, imprisonment.

What is included in a fire risk assessment report?

A comprehensive fire risk assessment report includes: identification of fire hazards, people at risk, evaluation of existing measures, findings and observations, risk ratings, prioritised action plan with recommendations, review date, and assessor details and qualifications.
