A fire risk assessment is an essential part of managing fire safety in most non-domestic premises. It identifies potential fire hazards, considers who may be at risk and examines the measures in place to prevent fires and protect people if an incident occurs. Keeping the assessment under review is equally important when buildings, occupants or their use changes.
