Fire Risk Assessment
Do I Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all organisations to carry out a fire risk assessment. However, you only need to record your significant findings if:
- You employ five or more people
- Your premises require a license under an act of parliament
- You have been served an alterations order
You can do this yourself, however, the order states that the assessor must be competent. That’s where we come in.
Our risk assessors are former fire officers with decades of experience. They are well versed in risk assessing using the PAS-79 methodology.
By engaging us you can rest assured you are meeting your statutory obligation.
We can also provide you with a fire plan of your premises
PAS-79 Compliant

The Site Visit
When our fire risk assessor visits your site you can expect them to spend an average of three hours with you. They will ask to see your records as well as carry out a detailed inspection of your premises.
If they find a significant concern whilst on your premises they will discuss this with you immediately
The Report
Within 5 working days of our visit, you will receive a comprehensive written report. The report details what fire protection measures are in place, what deficiencies may have been found and what actions should be taken to improve them. Identified deficiencies will, where possible, be supported by photographs to aid identification.

We aim always to give excellent value for money. Our assessor will visit your site and carry out a thorough inspection. They will also want to talk to you and some of your team to fully understand how you are currently managing your fire safety,
After leaving your premises the assessor will complete a comprehensive report which identifies where you are meeting the standard, as well as any areas where you are not meeting the standard yet. The report will then give you a risk assessment score of:
- Trivial
- Tolerable
- Moderate
- Substantial
- Intolerable
