How Does a Business Fire Risk Assessment Work?

A fire risk assessment offers fire safety regulations for buildings in the UK. They are something that must be completed to keep you, your staff and customers safe and to understand what may cause a fire and how to deal with a risk that is found during the assessment.

There are stages to a fire risk assessment, these stages encapsulate what a fire risk assessment is for, and the outcome of the findings, they typical follow this structure:

  • Consultation

This is essentially when we will talk about the business fire risk assessment, we’ll find out what kind of business it is, the size and set a date to visit your site.

  • Inspection on-site

Secondly, we will conduct a physical commercial fire risk assessment of your property. This will allow for our skilled team of inspectors to investigate your space and identify any fire hazards; these hazards may look like flammable materials or electrical faults.

  • Risk Assessment Report

This is the stage in which we assess the effectiveness of the safety measures your property has in place and generate a detailed report on the findings. This allows you to follow suggested recommendations and improvements to make your space compliant with UK fire regulations and to keep your property safe.
