Enquire NowChoosing a competent assessor is an important part of maintaining effective fire safety arrangements. At Safe I.S., we focus on providing detailed assessments that give responsible persons a clear understanding of the risks within their premises and the measures needed to address them.
No two buildings have exactly the same fire risks. Our assessors consider the individual characteristics of your premises, including its construction, layout, activities, occupancy, fire precautions and management arrangements, rather than relying on a generic checklist.
All of our fire risk assessors are registered on NFRAR at Intermediate or Advanced level. The National Fire Risk Assessors Register is a public register of competent fire risk assessors whose qualifications and competence have been independently verified against defined criteria.
Following the assessment, you'll receive a clear report setting out the findings and recommendations arising from the inspection. We aim to make the information straightforward to understand and useful when planning any necessary improvements.
A fire risk assessment is not simply a document to complete and file away. We help responsible persons understand the findings so they can maintain appropriate fire safety arrangements and respond to changes within their premises.
With thousands of fire risk assessments completed over more than 15 years, our team brings extensive experience across a broad range of buildings and fire safety environments. This practical background helps our assessors identify issues that may otherwise be overlooked.

We know that fire safety can be complex, so we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to make the process simpler and clearer.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in New Milton?
For most non-domestic premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. The assessment should consider the fire hazards present, the people who may be at risk and the measures needed to reduce those risks.
2. Who needs to conduct a fire risk assessment?
The property’s ‘responsible person’ (landlord, employer, or property manager) is legally required to carry out and regularly update fire risk assessments.
3. How often should assessments be reviewed?
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed annually or whenever significant changes occur in the property or its operations.
4. Do I need a new assessment after refurbishment work?
Significant building alterations can change the fire risks and may mean that the existing assessment needs to be reviewed or updated. Changes to layout, escape routes, compartmentation, occupancy or the use of rooms can all affect fire safety arrangements.
5. Can you provide services outside New Milton?
Yes, our fire risk assessment services extend nationwide, ensuring safety wherever it’s needed.
