Protecting People Through Effective Fire Safety Management
A well-managed approach to fire safety starts with understanding the risks within your premises. A fire risk assessment identifies potential hazards, considers who may be affected and evaluates whether existing precautions are appropriate. It also helps responsible persons understand where improvements may be needed to reduce risk and maintain safe evacuation arrangements.

Our assessors consider the specific characteristics of each building, including its construction, layout, occupancy and activities, to provide findings that support effective fire safety management.

Fire Risk Assessments Across Leigh
Understanding Leigh's Commercial and Community Landscape
Leigh, in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, has a well-established town centre with a mixture of independent businesses, shops, hospitality venues and community facilities. The area around Leigh Town Hall and Leigh Market forms part of the town's commercial heart, while Spinning Gate Shopping Centre provides further retail space and attracts regular visitors. These public-facing premises have different occupancy patterns and operational requirements, making effective fire safety arrangements an important consideration for local businesses and property managers.
Beyond the centre, Leigh includes established residential neighbourhoods, schools, healthcare facilities, community buildings and industrial premises. Areas around Pennington, Westleigh and Bedford contribute to the town's varied property stock, while the nearby A580 East Lancashire Road connects local businesses with wider employment and distribution areas. From older commercial buildings to modern developments and industrial units, fire risk assessments need to reflect each property's construction, occupancy and current use.

Leigh Fire Risk Assessment FAQs
Guidance for Property Owners and Responsible Persons
Below are answers to common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Are fire risk assessments legally required in Leigh?
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. This includes identifying fire hazards, considering who may be affected and determining how risks should be eliminated or reduced.
2. What should I look for when choosing a fire risk assessor?
Choose someone with the appropriate competence, knowledge and experience for your premises. Independent registration and relevant third-party certification can provide additional reassurance when selecting a professional fire risk assessment provider.
3. How often does an assessment need reviewing?
There is no universal review interval that applies to every property. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur, such as alterations to the premises, changes in occupancy or changes to how the building is used.
4. Which fire safety features are considered?
Depending on the premises, an assessment may consider fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, fire doors, escape routes, firefighting equipment, combustible materials and sources of ignition, alongside the people who may be at risk.
5. What if the assessment identifies areas of concern?
The findings will be recorded, with recommendations provided where improvements are needed. The responsible person should then take appropriate action to address the identified risks and ensure fire safety precautions remain effective.
