  • A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a structured evaluation of fire hazards and risks within a premises to ensure proper safety measures are in place. It involves identifying ignition sources, assessing risks to occupants, evaluating escape routes, and reviewing fire protection systems like alarms and extinguishers. The assessment ensures compliance with fire safety laws and helps minimize the risk of fire. Regular reviews are essential, especially after changes to the building, occupancy, or fire safety measures.

  • Yes, if you are responsible for a business, commercial premises, or a residential building with shared areas, you are legally required to have a recorded Fire Risk Assessment. This includes employers, landlords, building owners, and responsible persons under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

    A Fire Risk Assessment helps identify hazards, assess risks, and implement safety measures to protect occupants and ensure compliance with fire safety laws. It should be regularly reviewed, especially after any significant changes to the building or its use.

  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) is the main fire safety law in England and Wales. It requires business owners, landlords, and responsible persons to assess fire risks, implement safety measures, and protect occupants.

  • Failing to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) can have serious consequences, including:

    • Enforcement Notices – The Fire & Rescue service may require urgent safety improvements.

    • Prohibition Notices – Premises may be closed if deemed a serious fire risk.

    • Fines & Prosecution – Severe breaches can lead to unlimited fines or imprisonment.

    Non-compliance puts lives at risk and can result in legal action. Regular Fire Risk Assessments help ensure safety and compliance.

    Not having a Fire Risk Assessment may also invalidate your insurance. Meaning if you was to have a fire, your insurance may not be required to pay out for damage.
