There is no universal review interval that applies to every property. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who may be at risk.
3. What does a fire risk assessment cover?
An assessment considers potential fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, people at risk, existing fire safety measures and arrangements for warning and evacuating occupants. It also identifies where further measures may be necessary to reduce fire risk.
4. Should the assessment be reviewed after building work?
Yes. Alterations, refurbishment, changes to the layout or changes in how a building is used can affect fire hazards and escape arrangements. The assessment should be reviewed where such changes may affect the validity of the existing findings.
5. What happens if risks are identified?
The assessment report will explain the relevant findings and provide practical recommendations for addressing identified issues. These findings can then be used to plan appropriate remedial work and support ongoing fire safety management.
