Fire Risk Assessments

Who needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

Fire risk assessments will reduce the risk of fire on your premises and help reduce the chance of any potential fire affecting an adjacent building. If you are a landlord or an owner/occupier of business, non-domestic or residential premises, who is responsible for fire safety, or persons running a B&B, guesthouse, Let or Self-catering property you will need an assessment. Focus 360 Energy can advise you on the survey requirements for your property.

A fire risk assessment is not only a legal requirement, it also helps to reduce the risk of a fire developing in your building. It aims to identify all potential fire hazards and risks, and who might be harmed if a fire breaks out. It then provides recommendations to reduce these risks as much as possible.

The assessment should be reviewed annually to ensure that adequate safety measures are still in place and to identify any new hazards that might have developed. This should include your current fire prevention measures, escape routes, fire suppression plans, onsite communications if a fire should develop and the current level of fire awareness training among the staff.
