Experienced Assessors With a Practical Approach
A fire risk assessment is an essential part of managing fire safety within non-domestic premises. It helps identify potential fire hazards, consider who could be affected and establish what measures are needed to reduce risk. Regular reviews are also important where buildings, occupants or how premises are used change over time.
At Safe I.S., we provide professional fire risk assessments throughout Tameside for businesses, landlords, organisations and other responsible persons. Our experienced assessors take a practical, property-specific approach, considering the building, its occupants, fire safety arrangements and the way the premises operates rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all assessment.
All our fire risk assessors are registered on the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at Intermediate or Advanced level, while Safe I.S. is third-party accredited to BAFE SP205 as a Fire Risk Assessment Specialist. With more than 15 years' experience and thousands of assessments completed, we provide clear reports and practical recommendations that help you manage your fire safety responsibilities with confidence.

Tameside Fire Risk Assessment FAQs
Common Fire Safety Questions
Fire safety regulations can feel complicated, 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 in Tameside?
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 assessment should consider the risks posed by fire and the people who may be affected.
2. Who should carry out a fire risk assessment?
A fire risk assessment should be completed by someone with the appropriate competence, knowledge and experience for the premises being assessed. For more complex buildings, using a professionally qualified and independently registered assessor can provide additional assurance.
3. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review interval that applies to every building. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur, such as alterations to the premises, changes in occupancy, new processes or other circumstances that could affect fire safety.
4. What does a fire risk assessment look at?
An assessment considers matters such as sources of ignition, combustible materials, people at risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and other existing fire precautions.
5. What happens if significant fire risks are identified?
The findings will be documented and recommendations provided where improvements are needed. The responsible person can then use the assessment to plan appropriate remedial action and strengthen the building's fire safety arrangements.
