Reliable Fire Risk Assessments for Industrial Units

Understanding Complex Workplace Fire Risks

Specialist Fire Safety Support for Industrial Premises

Effective fire safety management in an industrial unit requires a detailed assessment of the activities, processes, layout and people within the premises. Industrial environments can involve machinery, electrical equipment, workshops, storage areas, combustible materials and a variety of tenants or businesses operating under one roof. An expert Fire Risk Assessment helps identify significant hazards, evaluate existing precautions and establish clear priorities for managing fire risk.

At Safe I.S., we provide professional Fire Risk Assessments tailored to the individual characteristics and operation of each industrial unit. Our experienced assessors take a thorough 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 a practical understanding of their risks and confidence in the actions 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.

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.
