Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Hospitals

Effective fire safety management within a hospital demands an expert and thorough understanding of the risks presented by complex healthcare environments. Patients, visitors and staff may occupy a wide range of clinical, residential, administrative and specialist areas, with some patients requiring assistance during an emergency. A professional Fire Risk Assessment provides a detailed evaluation of these risks, helping identify significant hazards, assess existing precautions and determine where improvements may be needed.

At Safe I.S., we provide expert Fire Risk Assessments tailored to the individual characteristics and operation of each hospital. Our experienced assessors take a detailed, methodical approach to evaluating fire hazards, people at risk, means of escape, existing fire safety measures and management arrangements. We provide clear, prioritised recommendations that give Responsible Persons confidence in their fire safety arrangements and a practical understanding of any action required.

All of our fire risk assessors are registered with the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at either Intermediate or Advanced level, while Safe I.S. is third-party accredited to the BAFE SP205 scheme. Combined, these credentials provide transparent, independently verified assurance that your assessment is being carried out by highly qualified professionals and a trusted fire safety specialist.

Proud to be Third-Party Accredited to BAFE SP205 for Hospitals

The BAFE SP205 scheme is designed to give customers and Responsible Persons peace of mind that their fire risk assessments are being carried out by a competent and regularly audited provider. As part of this scheme, BAFE and its licensed certification bodies regularly inspect SAFE I.S.'s records, procedures, and a random selection of client properties to ensure all assessments meet the required legal and technical standards.

BAFE is the independent registration body for third-party certified fire protection companies across the UK, maintaining a national register of quality fire safety service providers. This accreditation specifically recognises SAFE I.S.'s competency and adherence to the stringent requirements for conducting thorough and compliant fire risk assessments.

Institute of Fire Safety Manager, National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR)

The National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) is a national, publicly available register of competent fire risk assessors whose qualifications have been independently verified against a defined industry standard. As a Responsible Person or duty-holder, you can use the official NFRAR website to check registered assessors and their declared competence level before commissioning a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).

NFRAR recognises three competence levels, Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced, which correspond to the complexity and risk profile of the buildings each assessor is qualified to assess.

To achieve registration, assessors must provide supporting evidence, including recent FRAs, maintain appropriate Continuing Professional Development (CPD), hold suitable professional indemnity or public liability insurance, and meet professional conduct requirements.

All our fire risk assessors are registered with NFRAR at either Intermediate or Advanced level. Combined with our BAFE SP205 accreditation, this provides transparent, verifiable assurance that the assessor and business you commission are appropriately qualified and competent to complete your Fire Risk Assessment in accordance with UK fire safety legislation.

Hospital Fire Risk Assessment FAQs

Important Information for Healthcare Responsible Persons

We've answered some common questions below.

1. Why is a fire risk assessment particularly important in hospitals?

Hospitals can accommodate people who may be unable to evacuate independently, alongside complex clinical activities, specialist equipment and large or interconnected buildings. A suitable assessment helps identify significant risks and evaluate whether existing fire safety arrangements adequately protect patients, staff and visitors.

2. Does the assessment consider patients who require assistance?

Yes. People at risk are central to the assessment. We consider relevant factors such as mobility, dependency, awareness and whether patients may require staff assistance during an emergency.

3. What areas can be included in a hospital fire risk assessment?

The scope depends on the premises and assessment requirements. Relevant areas may include wards, treatment rooms, laboratories, operating areas, pharmacies, kitchens, offices, storage facilities, plant rooms, corridors and other clinical or support spaces.

4. Are medical equipment and clinical activities considered?

Yes. The assessment considers potential ignition sources and hazards associated with the activities, equipment and materials present within the premises.

5. Does the assessment consider compartmentation and fire doors?

Where relevant, yes. Compartmentation and fire-resisting construction can play an important role in limiting the spread of fire and smoke. Our assessors consider relevant structural and fire safety arrangements as part of the assessment.

6. Can Safe I.S. assess large or complex hospital premises?

Yes. Our assessors can undertake assessments of complex premises, with the approach tailored to the size, layout, use and characteristics of the individual hospital or area being assessed.
