Fire Risk Assessments

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for business premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It has to be carried out by a competent person and kept up to date. SafeWise's qualified fire risk assessors visit your premises or site, check your fire safety documentation, escape routes, emergency lighting, alarms and sources of ignition, identify the people most at risk, and give you the significant findings with an action plan. We can reassess every year as part of our health and safety consultancy. Call 01922 279129 for a price.

The Order, usually shortened to the RRFSO, replaced the previous fire safety legislation, so any fire certificate issued under the Fire Precautions Act 1971 no longer has any effect. The local fire and rescue authority enforces it in most premises, and the HSE enforces it on construction sites. Under the RRFSO employers must protect people from fire risks, and the assessment must be reviewed so that the fire precautions in your premises stay current and adequate.
