Professional Fire Safety Support for Healthcare Practices

A suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is an important part of managing fire safety in doctor's and dental surgeries. Patients may be unfamiliar with the premises, while some may have mobility limitations or require assistance during an emergency. Clinical equipment, electrical installations, treatment materials and other hazards also need to be considered. A professional assessment helps identify significant risks, evaluate existing precautions and establish where further measures may be necessary.

At Safe I.S., we provide detailed Fire Risk Assessments tailored to the way each medical or dental practice operates. Our qualified assessors examine potential fire hazards, people at risk, means of escape and existing fire safety measures, taking account of treatment areas, patient facilities, staff arrangements and other relevant aspects of the premises. We provide clear recommendations designed to help Responsible Persons understand and manage their fire safety responsibilities.

All of our fire risk assessors are registered with the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at either Intermediate or Advanced level, while Safe I.S. is third-party accredited to the BAFE SP205 scheme. This provides transparent, independently verified assurance that your assessment is being carried out by appropriately qualified professionals and a trusted fire safety specialist.

Institute of Fire Safety Manager, National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR)

The National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) is a national, publicly available register of competent fire risk assessors whose qualifications have been independently verified against a defined industry standard. As a Responsible Person or duty-holder, you can use the official NFRAR website to check registered assessors and their declared competence level before commissioning a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).

NFRAR recognises three competence levels, Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced, which correspond to the complexity and risk profile of the buildings each assessor is qualified to assess.

To achieve registration, assessors must provide supporting evidence, including recent FRAs, maintain appropriate Continuing Professional Development (CPD), hold suitable professional indemnity or public liability insurance, and meet professional conduct requirements.

All our fire risk assessors are registered with NFRAR at either Intermediate or Advanced level. Combined with our BAFE SP205 accreditation, this provides transparent, verifiable assurance that the assessor and business you commission are appropriately qualified and competent to complete your Fire Risk Assessment in accordance with UK fire safety legislation.
