A fire risk assessment is a fundamental part of effective fire safety management, helping identify potential hazards, consider the people who may be exposed to them and determine 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.

Understanding your fire safety responsibilities can help you manage risks effectively and recognise when existing arrangements need to be reviewed. Below are answers to some common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in Havant?
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 who may be at risk and the measures needed to prevent fire and protect occupants.
2. What does a fire risk assessment cover?
The assessment considers significant fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, 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 a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review interval that applies to every premises. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the building, its use or occupancy.
4. Do building alterations mean my assessment needs updating?
Potentially, yes. Changes to the layout, escape routes, compartmentation, occupancy, activities or fire protection measures can affect the risks within a building. Your existing assessment should therefore be reviewed where significant alterations could affect its findings.
5. What happens if the assessment identifies fire safety deficiencies?
The report will explain the findings and provide practical recommendations for addressing identified issues. These can then be incorporated into your wider fire safety management arrangements and action planning.
