A fire risk assessment is a fundamental part of effective fire safety management, helping identify potential hazards, consider the people who may be affected and assess the measures in place to reduce the likelihood and impact of fire. Keeping the assessment accurate and up to date is an important responsibility for those managing occupied premises.

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 legally required?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for most non-domestic premises to carry out and maintain an appropriate fire risk assessment. The assessment should identify fire hazards, consider people at risk and determine measures needed to reduce the risk.
2. 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 The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who may be at risk.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 additional measures may be required.
4. Should the assessment be reviewed after refurbishment?
Yes. Alterations, refurbishment, changes to the internal 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 fire safety 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 action and support ongoing fire safety management.
