A fire risk assessment is an important part of managing fire safety within non-domestic premises. It helps identify potential hazards, consider the people who may be affected and assess whether existing precautions are appropriate. Regular reviews are also important when buildings, occupancy or how premises are used change.

Trafford includes some of Greater Manchester's best-known commercial, sporting and residential areas, creating a varied property landscape for fire risk assessment. Altrincham town centre combines independent businesses, restaurants, offices and retail premises around the Market House and Stamford Quarter, while Sale, Stretford and Urmston provide further concentrations of shops, workplaces, community facilities and mixed-use buildings. The borough is also home to major destinations including Trafford Centre, where large-scale retail and leisure premises accommodate significant numbers of visitors.
The area's business and industrial properties add another dimension, particularly around Trafford Park, one of Europe's major industrial and commercial estates. Its warehouses, distribution facilities, manufacturing premises and offices sit alongside established residential areas in places such as Hale, Hale Barns, Bowdon, Timperley and Partington. With the Bridgewater Canal, Manchester Ship Canal and extensive transport connections also shaping the borough, fire safety arrangements need to reflect the individual use, construction and occupancy of each property.

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 Trafford?
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 fire hazards, people at risk and the measures in place to reduce those risks.
2. Who can carry out a fire risk assessment?
The assessment should be carried out by someone with suitable competence, knowledge and experience for the premises being assessed. More complex buildings may require an assessor with higher levels of specialist competence.
3. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every property. Assessments should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes occur, including alterations to the building, changes in occupancy or changes to how the premises are used.
4. What is covered during a fire risk assessment?
An assessment considers areas such as sources of ignition, combustible materials, people who may be at risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and other relevant fire precautions.
5. What happens when fire safety risks are identified?
The findings are recorded within the assessment, with recommendations provided where improvements are needed. These can then be used to help plan appropriate action and improve the building's fire safety arrangements.
