A fire risk assessment is an essential part of effective fire safety management, helping identify potential hazards, consider the people who may be exposed to them and establish whether appropriate precautions are in place. Regular review is also important because changes to a building, its use, occupancy or fire safety arrangements can alter the risks present.
At Safe I.S., we provide professional fire risk assessments throughout Farnborough, helping responsible persons understand the fire risks associated with their premises and the practical measures needed to manage them. Our assessors take a property-specific approach, considering the building, its activities, occupancy, escape arrangements and existing fire safety provisions.

Farnborough has a strong commercial identity shaped by its long-standing connection with aviation and aerospace. Farnborough Business Park provides a major employment location with offices and business facilities, while the town centre around Queensmead and The Meads provides a mix of retail, leisure and community uses. Farnborough's aviation heritage remains particularly prominent around Farnborough Airport, which continues to play an important role in the town's business identity and hosts the internationally recognised Farnborough International Airshow. These varied environments bring different fire safety considerations, making property-specific assessment particularly important.
The wider town includes established employment areas around the A331 corridor and Southwood Business Park, alongside residential communities including Southwood, North Camp and Farnborough Park. North Camp has its own commercial centre around Lynchford Road, while the wider Rushmoor area includes schools, healthcare premises, hospitality businesses, community facilities and mixed-use developments. As buildings are refurbished, extended or put to different uses, keeping fire risk assessments under review helps ensure fire safety arrangements continue to reflect current conditions.

Understanding your fire safety obligations can make it easier to manage risks effectively and respond when circumstances change. Here are answers to some common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in Farnborough?
For most non-domestic premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment is required. It should identify relevant fire hazards, people at risk and the measures needed to prevent fire and protect occupants.
2. What does a fire risk assessment involve?
An assessment considers the significant fire hazards within the premises, people who may be exposed to risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning arrangements, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and other relevant fire safety measures.
3. How often should my fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no universal review period that applies to every premises. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid, including after significant changes to the building, its use or occupancy.
4. Do I need to review my assessment after refurbishment?
Significant refurbishment or alterations can change fire hazards, escape routes, compartmentation, occupancy or other aspects of fire safety. Your assessment should therefore be reviewed where changes could affect the existing findings.
5. What happens if the assessment identifies fire safety deficiencies?
The assessment report will explain the issues identified and provide practical recommendations for addressing them. These findings can then be incorporated into your wider fire safety management arrangements.
