A fire risk assessment is a fundamental part of effective fire safety management, helping identify hazards, assess the people who may be exposed to risk and determine whether existing precautions are adequate. Keeping the assessment under review is equally important as buildings, occupancy, working practices and fire safety arrangements change.
At Safe I.S., we provide professional fire risk assessments throughout Fareham, giving responsible persons a clear understanding of the risks within their premises and the measures needed to manage them. Our assessors take a practical, property-specific approach, considering the building's construction, how it is used, the people who occupy it and the fire safety measures already in place.
Our fire risk assessors are registered on the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at Intermediate or Advanced level, with their competence independently verified against defined criteria. Safe I.S. is also third-party accredited to BAFE SP205 as a Fire Risk Assessment Specialist, providing additional assurance that your assessment is being carried out by a competent specialist provider.

Fareham combines an established town centre with extensive employment areas and a wide range of commercial premises. The town centre includes Fareham Shopping Centre, West Street, Market Quay and the Civic Gardens, alongside Fareham Live, the arts and entertainment venue opened in 2024. The area is also undergoing significant regeneration, with current proposals focused on improving the shopping centre, public spaces, pedestrian connections, leisure facilities and town-centre accommodation. These changes make effective fire safety management particularly important wherever buildings are refurbished, repurposed or brought into new use.
Beyond the centre, Fareham has a substantial commercial and employment network around the M27, including Segensworth, Titchfield Park, Solent Business Park, Fareham Industrial Park, Fareham Heights, Fort Wallington and the Cams Estate. Daedalus at Lee-on-the-Solent forms part of the Solent Enterprise Zone and includes the Fareham Innovation Centre, CEMAST and other employment facilities, while Newgate Lane provides further industrial and commercial premises close to the town. Across these varied locations, professional fire risk assessments help organisations understand the specific hazards associated with their buildings and maintain effective fire safety arrangements.

Understanding your fire safety responsibilities can help you keep your premises properly managed and respond appropriately when circumstances change. Below are answers to some common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in Fareham?
For most non-domestic premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment is required. It should identify fire hazards, people at risk and the measures needed to prevent fire and protect occupants.
2. What does a fire risk assessment actually assess?
The assessment considers relevant fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, people who may be at risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and other relevant fire safety measures.
3. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every building. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid, including after significant changes to the premises, its use or occupancy.
4. Do building alterations mean my fire risk assessment needs updating?
Potentially, yes. Alterations can change the layout, escape routes, compartmentation, occupancy or fire hazards within a building. The existing assessment should therefore be reviewed following significant works to determine whether it remains valid.
5. What happens if a fire risk assessment identifies deficiencies?
The report will explain the issues identified during the assessment and provide practical recommendations for addressing them. The findings can then be incorporated into your wider fire safety management arrangements.
