A professional fire risk assessment provides a detailed examination of the potential fire hazards within a property, the people who could be affected and the precautions in place to reduce those risks. Keeping an assessment current is an important part of effective fire safety management, particularly where a building's use, occupancy or physical layout changes.
At Safe I.S., we provide professional fire risk assessments throughout Southminster, supporting businesses, landlords, property managers and other responsible persons across commercial, residential and public premises. Our experienced assessors take a property-specific approach, considering the building itself alongside the activities taking place and the people who use it.
All Safe I.S. fire risk assessors are registered on the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at Intermediate or Advanced level. We are also third-party accredited to BAFE SP205 as a Fire Risk Assessment Specialist, providing independent recognition of our competence and professional processes.

If you're responsible for a premises in Southminster, you may have questions about the assessment process, your legal obligations and when your fire safety arrangements should be reviewed.
1. What areas are considered during the assessment?
Our assessors consider fire hazards, people at risk and existing precautions. This includes matters such as means of escape, detection and warning, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors, compartmentation and fire safety management arrangements.
2. Is a fire risk assessment required by law?
For most non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. The requirements applying to an individual property depend on its use, occupancy and circumstances.
3. How long does a fire risk assessment take?
The time required depends on the individual premises. Size, layout, complexity, occupancy and the activities taking place can all affect the duration of an assessment.
4. How often should my assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every property. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur that could affect fire safety, such as alterations to the premises, changes in occupancy or changes to the activities taking place.
5. Should a fire risk assessment be reviewed after refurbishment?
Yes, where building work or alterations could affect fire safety. Changes to the layout, construction, occupancy or use of a property can introduce new risks or affect existing precautions.
