A professional fire risk assessment provides an informed evaluation of the fire hazards within a premises, the people who may be exposed to those hazards and the precautions in place to protect them. It should take account of the building itself, how it is occupied and used, the activities taking place and the effectiveness of existing fire safety arrangements.
At Safe I.S., we provide expert fire risk assessments throughout Basildon, supporting Responsible Persons, landlords, business owners, property managers and other duty-holders with their fire safety responsibilities. Our qualified assessors take a systematic approach to identifying significant hazards and assessing measures including means of escape, fire detection and warning, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors, compartmentation and fire safety management.
We tailor every assessment to the individual premises, providing clear findings and prioritised recommendations rather than generic advice. 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 independently verified assurance that your assessment is being carried out by appropriately qualified professionals and a trusted fire safety specialist.

Fire safety regulations can be confusing, but we’re here to help. Below are answers to common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement for businesses in Basildon?
Where the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, the Responsible Person has legal duties relating to fire risk assessment and fire safety. The assessment must be reviewed when necessary and kept relevant to the premises and its circumstances.
2. What does Safe I.S. look at during an assessment?
Our assessors consider sources of ignition and fuel, people at risk, means of escape, fire detection and warning, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors, compartmentation and fire safety management, together with other relevant precautions.
3. How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The duration varies according to the size and complexity of the premises. Factors such as the building's layout, occupancy, number of floors and activities taking place all influence how much time is required to complete the assessment properly.

It should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid or a significant change has occurred. Alterations to the building, changes in use or occupancy and significant incidents may all require the assessment to be reviewed.
